Summary

Inverted orthosis is a type of rigid foot orthosis that was designed to aid in controlling high degrees of foot pronation. It is essential to administer patients foot orthoses with different inverted angles, with higher angles prescribed when greater reduction of foot pronation is indicated. However, there is shortage of clinical knowledge regarding the inverted angle in terms of biomechanical changes. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of different inverted angles of foot orthoses on the walking kinematics in females with flexible flatfeet.

Conditions

  • Flexible Flatfoot

Interventions

DEVICE

Inverted foot orthoses

Inverted functional orthoses will be used in this study based on Blake (1986) inverted orthotic technique. Two groups of foot orthosis will be fabricated with two different inverted angles: 25° inverted angle and 15° inverted angle.
