Summary

Background: there is a high risk of falls in older adults. One of the factors contributing to fall episodes is advancing age due to deterioration of the proprioceptive system. Certain clinical procedures improve balance and posture such as the use of insoles.

Objetive: to evaluate the impact of hard and soft insoles on static foot balance in healthy older adults compared to barefoot people.

Methods: a clinical trial was conducted with a sample size of 31 healthy with a mean age of 69.03±3.82 years. Postural control willevaluated in different conditions of barefoot balance with hard and soft insoles.

Conditions

  • Postural; Defect
  • Adult
  • Orthopedic

Interventions

DEVICE

Active Comparator: insoles hard, soft and barefoot

Primary Outcome Measure: 1\. Stabilometry The measurements were conducted University. To assess participants' balance, the anthropometric position of the protocol proposed by the International Society for the Advancement of Cineatropometry (ISAK) was assigned: participants placed their mi Frankfort; the upper limbs remained relaxed throughout the body, with palms facing forward and thumbs separated from the rest of the toes, and were barefoot with feet externally rotated f 30 degrees and with a heel distance of 4cm. The children were wearing sports costumes to contribute their free movement. For stabilometry data collection will use an inertial measurement instrument called Gyko® It is a state-of-the-art device that allows to measure an objective assessment of acceleration, angular velocity and with an acquisition frequency of 100Hz \[Time Frame: pre intervention, 3 months post intervention, 6 months post intervention\]
