No results posted yet for this study

Summary

People with weak balance ability or subjective feeling of dizziness and unsure gait are separated into 3 training-groups. One Group is getting no insoles, the second group is getting modern sensomotoric insoles, and the third group is getting normal standard insoles. All are passing a 6 week proprioceptive training.

Main outcome measurements are posturography at baseline, 3 weeks and 6 weeks. Secondary measurements are ABC-Scale, Tinetti Gait and balance test and functional reach test at baseline and after 6 weeks.

Conditions

  • Sensorimotor Gait Disorder

Interventions

DEVICE

sensomotoric insoles

sensomotoric insoles were published by Jahrling (2007) and have a certain shape that could improve balance abilities. The toes 2-4 are higher that toe 1, so that the tendons of the toe-flectors are pre-stressed.

DEVICE

normal standard insoles

Normal standard insole like you will get them by receipe from an orthotic shop

OTHER

No insoles

control group with no insoles in the shoes
