Overview
Abnormal feet progression angle, i.e. abnormal feet rotation during walking, is one of the pathologies which can be revealed by mere visual inspection. It is an epiphenomenon of a series of diseases, some of which are indicated for therapy by insoles. However, some of the small, but clinically significant changes caused by the insoles cannot be captured with the naked eye. Therefore, their actual effect may not always be interpreted properly.
The aim of this study was to objectify the immediate effect of bars of sensorimotor insoles on the feet progression angle in the stance phase of the gait cycle in asymptomatic adults.
The feet progression angle was assessed during walking with the base sole both with and without the individual bars of sensorimotor insoles, using the Vicon optoelectronic system in 11 subjects altogether (age 23,0 ± 3,3 years, height 174,4 ± 8,4 cm, weight 66,9 ± 6,0 kg).
The results show that bars can significantly change the feet progression angle. During walking, retrocapital bars rotate feet outwards in relation to the base sole; calcaneal medial bars rotate feet inwards.
