This study tests whether wearing special shoe inserts (called orthoses) can quickly change the stiffness and flexibility of foot muscles in people with flat feet. It may help understand how foot supports can improve comfort and function.
This trial tests custom-made shoe insoles to improve foot pressure and comfort in people with foot deformities. It may help reduce pain and improve how your feet work during daily activities.
This study compares three different types of foot orthoses (custom shoe inserts) to see which works best for adults with progressive collapsing foot deformity (a condition where the arch of the foot falls). You would wear the orthoses daily and we would track your pain and function.
This study tests whether shoe insoles with a small wedge on the outside can change how your legs move and work while walking and running. It may help if you have foot or knee issues, and the results could guide better treatments.
This study tests a new type of shoe designed to help people who have foot drop (when you can't lift the front part of your foot) walk more easily. If you've had foot drop for 6 months or more, this trial may help improve your walking.
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.
