Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of generic foot arch support insoles on the center of foot pressure in Double-Legs-Stance, Single-Right-Leg-Stance, Single-Left-Leg-Stance, Right-Tandem-Stance and Left-Tandem-Stance. Ten healthy adults (male=5, female=5) were recruited in this study. Subjects were tested with no insole (Insole-A) and three different design of insoles (Insole-B, C and D) in each type of standing mode. A pressure mapping sensor (25Hz) with 25 sensel per square inch spatial resolution and pressure measurement system software were used to collect the center of pressure movements. A non-parametric Friedman test with Wilcoxon singed-ranks post-hoc test were used to analyze the significant effects of the insole. There was significant differences in anteroposterior travelled distance across insole support types, χ2(3, N=10) = 9.120, p < 0.05 for Double-Leg-Stance. However post-hoc test indicates that no significant difference in between any paired of insoles. Significant differences were found in anteroposterior peak velocity across insole support types for Single-Right-Leg-Stance, χ2(3, N=10) = 8.567, p < 0.05. Post-hoc test indicates that there is a significant difference in anteroposterior peak velocity for the Insole-C and Insole-B, z = -2.550, p < 0.05, with lower peak velocity of center of pressure shift in Insole-C. There were no significant differences found in Single-Left-Leg-Stance and Right-Tandem-Stance across all types of insole support. The results of the Friedman test indicate that no significant differences exist in Right-Tandem-Stance across all types of insole sup-port. There were significant differences in mediolateral range, mediolateral travelled distance and mediolateral position standard deviation across insole support types with chi square, χ2(3, N=10) = 9.0, χ2(3, N=10) = 9.12, χ2(3, N=10) = 8.04, p < 0.05 respectively for Left-Tandem-Stance. This study concludes that the generic foot arch support insoles have no significant positive instantaneous effects on center of pressure measurement.
