Four weeks of foot orthosis intervention improves ambulatory capacities and posture of patients

Aix-Marseille University, France
In patients with foot malalignment and/or abnormal arch foot, four weeks of foot orthoses could increase the gait distance and
attenuate the post-6MWT (6-min walk test) posture alterations. Indeed, we already reported these benefits of foot orthoses in
individuals with no foot malalignment. In 10 normal weight and 10 overweight patients with foot malalignment and/or abnormal
arch foot, the benefits of four weeks of custom-molded orthosis intervention (D30) were examined on the 6MWT gait distance, the
scores of fatigue sensation, (Pichot and MFI fatigue scales) and the post-6MWT sway of the center of pressure (CoP). One month
of foot orthosis intervention significantly improved the ambulatory performances during the 6MWT, attenuated bodily fatigue
sensation after the 6MWT, and reduced the post-6MWT CoP deviations, the benefits of insoles being significantly accentuated in
overweight subjects.
