Lateral wedge insoles for walking and running
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can walk and run 10 meters (about 33 feet) without help
- No injury to your legs, pelvis, or back in the last year
- No treatment for legs, pelvis, or back in the last 6 months
- Your shoe size is between EU 36 and EU 45 (about US women's 5–11 or men's 4–10)
- Your foot posture and foot function are within a normal range (measured by the researchers)
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 25

This study checks how a special shoe insole splint affects walking patterns in people recovering from a stroke. It’s looking at gait (walking) measurements to see whether the splint can help safely during physical therapy.
This study tests whether wearing a heel lift insole changes how your legs and lower back move while walking. It may help understand if such insoles can benefit people with certain conditions, but right now it only includes healthy volunteers.
This trial tests whether special shoe inserts (wedged insoles) combined with ankle straps can reduce pain and improve knee alignment in people with mild bow legs and inner knee pain. It aims to help those who have not had knee surgery and can walk without help.
This study tests if textured shoe insoles can improve balance, walking, and knee comfort for older adults with knee osteoarthritis. You will be asked to walk and perform simple physical tests while wearing the insoles.
This study tests whether shoe insoles can help people with knee osteoarthritis. You might be eligible if you have had knee pain for at least 6 months, your pain is at least moderate, and you also have pain in the same foot.
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.
