No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the long-term effects that orthotics imposes on the structure and function of the foot. The objectives of the study are to determine if the use of custom-made foot orthotics (CFO) cause: (a) changes to the structure of the plantar intrinsic muscles, (b) changes in the rate of muscle activity and timing in the plantar intrinsic muscles and (c) creates any changes in balance control during gait termination. The aim of the study is to enhance the appropriate dispensing of orthotics, and whether additional measures, such as rehabilitation exercises are necessary to increase their overall effectiveness in the clinical setting.
