“…There were no statistically significant effects of the textured insoles on AP or ML range or COP velocity with eyes opened or closed (p > 0.05). The effects of textured insoles in older adults with a history of falls may not be beneficial immediately Liu et al 45 Research support N = 33 Four insoles with different arch heights…”

“…It reduced the ML excursion by an average of 29% for non-fallers and 35% for previous fallers. 45 Mulford et al examined the effects of arch supports on balance with the Berg balance test and on functional mobility with timed up and go (TUG) test. In addition, self-reported back pain and lower extremity pain were measured without the arch supports, immediately after the insertion of the supports in the subject's footwear and after 6 weeks of arch support use.…”

“…In their study on 15 fall-experienced and 18 non-faller older adults, Liu et al found that using insoles decreased dynamic oscillations of the participants. 2 In a study investigating the effects of 4 biomechanically different insoles on the DPS of 13 healthy elderly individuals, it was reported that DPS-ML and DPS-AP did not change with the use of insoles. 30 The use of high-heeled shoes in elderly individuals is not recommended as it adversely affects the lower extremity functions and alignment.…”

“…1 While approximately 28-35% of people aged 65 and over fall each year, this percentage increases to 32-42% in 70-year-old adults. 2,3 Falls are also a common reason for hospitalization in older people as they can cause fractures (e.g. in hips), soft tissue injuries, and head traumas.…”

“…According to the results of the study, in both groups the best balance performance was achieved by using proactive insoles. 2 The effect of spiked insoles on PS and plantar surface cutaneous sensitivity in volunteer older adults was investigated by Palluel et al who concluded that these insoles could enhance PS. 15 PS deficits, which are significant predictors of falls in older adults, are tightly linked with foot orthoses or different type of insoles.…”

The use of insoles with different thicknesses has been shown to be effective on all RoF and PS measurements (except for dynamic PS-ML). 10-mm-thick insole turned out to be a better option for elderly individuals to increase PS and reduce RoF compared the barefoot, only shoes, 5 and 15 mm insoles. For older adults, 10-mm-thick insoles made of medium-density plastozote may be recommended to help them with a better PS and a reduced RoF.

A stable quiet stance is achieved by controlling the relative position of the center of pressure and the vertical projection of the center of mass. The best postural performances include efficient strategies to mitigate external perturbations. Footwear impacts postural stability and strategy by affecting cutaneous proprioception and ankle proprioception in the case of heeled shoes. The purpose of this study was to quantify the effects of four common footwear conditions, i.e. barefoot, sports, flats, and heels, on postural stability and strategy during quiet standing of healthy young women. Postural stability and strategy were assessed overall and in the antero-posterior and medio-lateral directions using five parameters: total sway, average center of pressure (COP) velocity, α value computed using detrended fluctuation analysis, hip over ankle ranges of motion, and power of the COP time series. Significant differences with barefoot were consistently found when wearing heels, namely a decrease in postural sway and average COP velocity. Results seemed counter-intuitive as they indicate an apparent increase in postural stability when wearing heels. A deeper analysis revealed a more complex scheme. A potential tightening of the motion when wearing heels, combined with an increase of the neutral plantarflexion angle, shifts the postural strategy towards a predominant hip strategy. Finally, proprioception did not play a key role. This study highlighted the complexity of the multifactorial interactions between footwear characteristics and postural strategies. Additional work is needed to develop footwear that will enhance postural stability of populations at risk, such as pregnant women or the elderly.
