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.
