The biopsychosocial‐digital continuum of foot orthosis practice and research: the VALUATOR model

Abstract: Foot orthoses have been used for decades despite uncertainty surrunding their therapeutic efficacy. Orthoses have been used exclusively to affect neuro-biomechanical input and outcome variables, however, there is emerging evidence that therapeutic efficacy may be affected by a psychological stimulus. Critical appraisal of the literature highlights that there is no holistic model upon which foot orthosis practice is taught, practised nor investigated. This paper introduces a conceptual model of foot orthosis pr… Show more

“…The design of FOs is normally focused on three dimensions: (i) selecting the necessary geometric features; (ii) selecting the necessary materials, taking into account their mechanical properties; (iii) selecting the desired visual properties [4]. With respect to the former, specific modifications or add-on components, such as metatarsal pads or metatarsal domes, are often applied in custom or non-customised FOs to achieve the required clinical endpoint.…”
