Foot Orthoses

Abstract: This review article describes shoe inserts and provides information to assist physical therapists to identify patients who may benefit from foot orthoses. The article discusses goals for and types of shoe inserts, in addition to the materials and methods that can be used in fabricating appliances. Clinical considerations for the use of shoe inserts and application to specific patient populations are presented.

“…For instance, recreational runners often use custom-molded foot orthoses in order to prevent running related injuries, rehabilitate from injuries, increase comfort, and/or improve performance. Other proposed functional qualities of foot orthoses include aligning the skeleton and providing improved cushioning (Lockard, 1988), improving sensory feedback (Robbins & Gouw, 1991), reducing muscle activity (Nawoczenski, Cook, & Saltzman, 1995), and reducing joint moments (Crenshaw, Pollo, & Calton, 2000). Until recently, the effects of foot orthoses on skeletal alignment were controversial (e.g., Eng & Pierrynowski, 1994;Stacoff, Reinschmidt, Nigg, et al, 2000) and little was known about the effects on other variables.…”

“…Their administration or prescription has been and is done for many different reasons, including reducing the frequency of movement related injuries (10), aligning the skeleton properly (11,16), providing improved cushioning (11), improving comfort (26), improving the sensory feedback (25,27), reducing muscle activity (18), correcting the center of the path of the pressure (COP) (15), and/or reducing the knee joint moments (32). This paper concentrates on the effects of shoe inserts on the alignment of the lower extremities, the correction of the path of the COP, and the reduction of ankle and knee joint moments.…”
