Corrective insoles for foot overpronation in healthcare workers
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests whether special rubber insoles can help healthcare workers with flat feet (overpronation) reduce foot strain while standing and walking for long shifts. If you work in a hospital or clinic and spend most of your shift on your feet, this may help you understand if the insoles improve comfort and foot alignment.

This study compares two non-surgical treatments—custom shoe inserts and a foot-strengthening exercise program—to see which one improves running form more in runners with flat feet (pes planus). If you are a recreational runner age 18–30 with flat feet and no recent injuries, you may be able to join.
This trial looks at whether using a foot brace (an orthosis) plus exercises can improve symptoms from flat feet. It may help by changing how your foot and heel work when you stand or walk.
This study looks at how wearing foot supports (called orthoses) for a short time affects the muscles in your feet if you have flat feet. It may help doctors understand which supports work best for comfort and function.
This trial tests custom 3D-printed insoles to see if they improve foot pressure and comfort in people with foot deformities like flat feet or bunions. If you have a foot deformity and can wear insoles daily, this study may help you walk more comfortably.
This trial tests whether smart shoes or insoles can help people with flat feet. If you have a collapsed arch and a foot posture score of 6 or higher, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether special foot insoles can change the position of the kneecap in adults who have flexible flat feet. It aims to understand how foot supports might affect knee health.
