The Effect of Different Types of Foot Orthoses on the Biomechanical Variables, Lower Extremity Muscular Activity and Balance in Elderly: A Systematic Review Study
Abstract:Older adults demonstrate increased amounts of postural sway, which may ultimately lead to falls. The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the effect of different foot orthoses on lower limb biomechanical variables, lower limb muscular activity, and balance in elderly people. Examining texts based on the search on the Magiran, Google Schoolar, Pubmed, Scopus, and SIVILICA sites were done by using following keywords: foot orthoses, footwear, aging, aged, elderly, Kinematic, walking, loading rate,… Show more
