Effect of Custom Dynamic Orthoses on Forefoot Loading
Conditions: Lower Extremity Injuries
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 65 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 60
Sponsor: University of Iowa
Location: University of Iowa Iowa City Iowa
Summary
The proposed study is designed to evaluate how foot loading changes during initial accommodation to a carbon fiber custom dynamic orthosis (CDO), after targeted training with or without visual feedback of foot loading, and after take-home use of the CDO. This study will quantify initial offloading associated with CDO use and determine if visual feedback of foot loading and additional take-home use of the CDO can further reduce forces, as orthotists work to provide CDOs to patients.
