Abstract
Objectives: To determine the effect of contouring of an in-shoe foot orthosis on plantar contact area and surface pressure, as well as perceived comfort and support at the foot-orthosis interface during stationary cycling.
Design: A randomised, repeated measures control study.
"This study reviewed the effect of a contoured orthosis for in-shoe pressures and comfort against a flat insole. As expected, the contoured device (Vasily(R)), increased contact area at the midfoot, but also at the medial plantar hallux. Comfort preference did not exist between the contoured insole and the flat control device." - Dr Bob Eckles
