“…However, the results of studies analyzing the effects of footwear on the COP excursion are inconsistent. Some studies report differences in quiet stance COP excursions between barefoot and shod standing (Brenton-Rule et al 2011) or between different types of footwear (Lord et al 1999), while several other studies found no significant difference between barefoot and shod conditions Bashford 1996, Landry et al 2010) or between different types of footwear (Lindemann et al 2003, Whitney and Wrisley 2004, Van Geffen et al 2007, Wilson et al 2008, Brenton-Rule et al 2011. Only for "extreme" cases of footwear, quiet stance experiments have been able to conclusively document an effect on the postural control system, for instance, for high heeled shoes (Menant et al 2008) or for so called "unstable" shoes, such as the MBT TM shoe (Masai Barefoot Technology Inc., Switzerland) which creates increased instability through a rocker sole and a soft heel pad (Nigg et al 2006a.…”

“…There are several pathways of how footwear might influence the postural control system. Footwear might change a) the position and posture of the feet (Shultz et al in press), the pressure distribution at the foot during the ground contact (Shorten 2009), and/or it may affect several sensory systems that contribute to the postural control (Magnusson et al 1990, Robbins and Waked 1997, Maki et al 1999, Patel et al 2008, Wilson et al 2008, Hatton et al 2009). …”

“…In addition, Lord et al [9] reported that COP during static standing differed with different types of shoes; however, Wilson et al [10] and Brenton-Rule et al [11] sole angle affects COP during static standing. Hence, the above, in short, the shoes with the different sole round angle would be necessary to examine.…”

“…In the condition of eye closed test, the CoP trajectory increased profoundly, although the faller group was larger than non-fall but was not significant. The increased of M-L sway implies the increase of fall risk, the poor vision condition elevated the falling rate 12,13 . With orthoses, the sway trajectory reduced, among that the Proactive insole (arch height 1.75cm) showed the best posture stability control.…”

Purpose Between 28 to 35% of people aged over 65 fall in a year; for those aged over 70 the falling rate is as high as 32 to 42%. Many factors may lead to a fall, and these risk factors can be categorized as either endogenous or exogenous. Propriocepton biofeedback and ankle strategy are one of the basic control mechanism to keep posture balance and prevent falling. The purpose of this study was to evaluate different hardness and arch support designs in controlling the posture stability. Method A group of fifteen 'fallers', i.e fall-experienced elderly, (average age 67.7±2.4 years) and eighteen non-faller elderly (average age 68.7±3.1 years) were recruited for this study. The elderly were subjected to an exhaustive examination which included collecting demographic data, a proprioceptive test, a functional balance test, a Berg-balance test, as well as a dynamic balance assessment system tested with the eye open or closed (Biodex Medical System, Inc., USA) with a pressure mat (Xsensor X3, Canada) on top of the platform. Four types of orthotic insoles (Performace, Proactive, and Hardboot from Footdisc®, and Power step from Dr. Kong). The insoles each had different arch support hardness used to support ankle stability during ankle rocker motion, and cushions at metatarsal heel regions used to protect sensitive foot structure against strain and proprioception. During each test, foot pressure and the center of pressure (CoP) were recorded and analyzed. Statistical analysis was performance using SPSS v17.0 software. Results & DiscussionThe faller group showed significant larger CoP excursion particularly in the medial-lateral direction, as well as the anterior-posterior mean CoP velocity with the eye opened. In the test with eye closed, the CoP trajectory increased profoundly, although the faller group was larger than the non-fallers, but this was not significant. The increased of media-lateral (ML) sway implies an increased fall risk; poor vision elevated the falling rate. With orthotics, the sway trajectory reduced, among that the Proactive insole (arch height 1.75cm) showed the best posture stability control. It reduced the ML-excursion with an average of 29% for non-fallers and 35% for fallers, respectively.
