Evaluation of the short and medium term use of insoles for personalised footwear
journal contribution
posted on 2011-11-03, 13:57 authored by Andre S. Salles, Diane E. Gyi, Stephanie E. ForresterThe personalisation of footwear can be
beneficial for different population groups,
including older people, individuals with foot
pathologies or abnormalities and runners. For
runners in particular, footwear personalisation
has the potential to offer four main
advantages: optimum fit, improved comfort
perception, improved performance (by altering
lower limb alignment to reduce muscle
activity) and reducing injury risk through
personalisation of cushioning and support
requirements.
Additive manufacturing (AM) technology has
potential for making footwear personalisation
economically feasible due to its geometric
freedom, tool-less capability and direct
manufacture from CAD models. However, it is
not known how personalised footwear affects
discomfort and biomechanics following short
and medium term use.
The main objective of this research was to
evaluate the short and medium term use of
personalised insoles in terms of discomfort and
lower extremity biomechanics.
