The Effect of Two Different Custom Molded Foot Orthoses on Inter-segmental Foot Kinematics and the EMG Activity of Selected Lower Leg Muscles During Walking and Running.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Maximal Arch Subtalar Stabilization and Full Contact Orthosis for Lower Extremity Pain of a Mechanical Origin. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of two types of in-shoe custom made orthotics in altering the motion of the foot and muscle activity of select muscles of the lower leg in individuals experiencing lower extremity symptoms of a non traumatic origin. We hypothesized that orthotics would decrease the extent of motion of the during walking and running when compared to a barefoot condition. The investigators further hypothesized that orthotics would decrease the amount of muscle activity seen during walking and running when compared to barefoot walking.

Interventions
Custom made semi-rigid thermoplastic heel cup extending to the base of the metatarsals with a full foot length 3.0mm thick EVA and ultra-suede top cover
The Full Contact orthosis is constructed from a 5/32" blue polypropylene with posting material comprised of white polypropylene.
