ABSTRACT Background Foot orthoses (FOs) are often prescribed by clinicians to treat foot
and ankle conditions, prevent running injuries, and enhance performance. However, the …

The escalating prevalence of diabetes has accentuated the significance of addressing the
associated diabetic foot problem as a major public health concern. Effectively offloading …

Highlights Foot measurements show an insignificant increase at a more rapid walking
speed. Faster walking speed results in higher mean peak plantar pressure in the forefoot …

Air insoles have provided insights for reducing the risk of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). The
pressure time integral (PTI) is an effective assessment that considers the time effect in …

Clinically, air insoles may be applied to shoes to decrease plantar pressure gradient (PPG)
and increase plantar gradient angle (PGA) to reduce foot ulcers. PPG and PGA may cause …

Background and Objectives: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a prevalent musculoskeletal disease,
with inflammation at the origin of the plantar fascia, that affects sedentary people, particularly …

Background: Exercise reduces chronic complications in individuals with diabetes and
peripheral vascular diseases. In clinical practice, the use of air insole may reduce peak …

Background Muscle fatigue, characterized by reduced force generation during repetitive
contractions, impacts older adults doing daily activities and athletes during sports activities …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of an orthotic deformation test on insole
arches and the impact of researcher expertise on the test's reproducibility. Three …

Introduction: There are various types of clefts of the primary and secondary palate and
various degrees of severity. Despite the relatively long history of palatal surgery, little …
