“…A larger range of changes in COP and faster speeds indicate that the stability of motion is lower. The results show that, compared with experimental condition B in the stability control phase [21,22,32] (i.e., the FFCP and the FFP), the range of the inner and outer COP of the experimental condition A was significantly lower than that of the experimental condition B and the control condition. The COP rate of experimental condition A was significantly lower than the control condition, indicating that the customized 3D-printed heel support insole based on arch lift improved control of balance in the contact and flange phases.…”

“…Plantar motion has 4 phases: initial contact phase (ICP), forefoot contact phase (FFCP), foot flange phase (FFP), and forefoot push-out phase (FFPOP). We analyzed the COP data during the FFCP and the FFP because maintaining a dynamic stability is most critical at these stages [21][22][23]. The FFCP period starts with the first metatarsal contact with the floor and ends when all of the humeral head regions are in contact with the floor.…”

Background3D-printed insoles are widely used. This study was conducted to test a customized three-dimensional (3D)-printed heel support insole based on arch lift and to investigate whether the pressure distribution on the sole was improved while maintaining foot function.Material/MethodsThe design was based on a 3D plantar contour scanning modeling technique. Thirty healthy male participants walked along a 10-m track under 3 self-controlled interventions. A customized 3D-printed heel support insole based on arch lift was inserted into the socks for the experimental condition A. For condition B, a customized 3D-printed heel-supporting insole was inserted into the socks, and a standardized pre-made heel-supporting insole was inserted into the socks as a control (condition C). We used the Footscan® pressure plate to measure the plantar parameters in the forefoot contact and foot flange phases in each condition.ResultsCompared with condition B and the control condition, the peak pressure under the heel was significantly lower in condition A (P<0.05), and the peak pressure in the midfoot region was not significantly increased (P>0.05).ConclusionsThe biomechanical properties of the customized 3D-printed heel support are better than those of the traditional heel support insole, especially when there is a need for an additional increase in heel height. Patients do not decrease midfoot motion function while using this customized insole.

“…Nevertheless, toe-out foot was easier for people with larger external rotations, which may imply a more severe problem with tibial rotation [ 49 , 64 ]. Thus, heavier individuals find it more challenging to keep their balance in long-distance walking.…”

Background: Overweight, obesity and falls are major public health problems and old people are the biggest group suffering falls. Methods: 92 females were divided into the overweight or obesity (O) group (68.85 ± 3.85) and regular-weight (R) group (67.90 ± 4.02). Lower extremity motor capacity and plantar pressure were compared between the two groups. The IRB approval number is 20190804. Results: (1) Functional Movement Screen and Fugl-Meyer Assessment scores in the O group were significantly lower than in the R group. The time to complete the Timed Up and Go test in the O group was significantly longer than in the R group. (2) Foot flat phase, double support distance, and left foot axis angle in the O group were significantly higher than in the R group. Distance and velocity, left-foot minimum subtalar joint angle and right-foot maximum subtalar joint angle in the O group were significantly shorter than in the R group. (3) Peak force, average force and pressure of metatarsal 1–4, mid-foot, heel medial and lateral, peak pressure of metatarsal l, midfoot, heel medial and lateral in the O group were significantly higher than in the R group. (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Overweight and obese elderly women have a lower sensorimotor function, flexibility and stability in functional movements, but higher loads on the foot.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in movement patterns during a sit-to-stand (STS) task before and after total knee replacement (TKR), the impact of the prosthesis on the kinematic parameters of sit-to-stand flexion movement and to compare biomechanical outcomes after TKR to a control group. A sample of seven healthy control subjects and five patients suffering of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) participated in three-dimensional motion analysis. Although there were significant improvements in movement 4 months after TKR, patients continued to demonstrate smaller moments on the prosthetic knee compared to non-operated and to control knees.
