Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To address whether custom made foot insoles could be used for primary prevention of lower limb overuse injuries, the investigators conducted a prospective, randomized controlled study comparing the use of insoles and standard shoes in healthy young adults exposed to increased physical activity.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

control group

Conscript used their own ankle boots instead of custom made insoles.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

shoe insoles

The custom made insoles (Thermo+Camel, cost for the military 20,50 euros) were fabricated from firm-density polyethylene and the hard plastic shell was a three-quarter length. The insole was strong enough to fill the arch area thus providing support to the mid foot. It also influences the position of the foot. The insoles were individually customized by heating the polyethylene in form of individual foot with standing and walking in them. The conscripts were advised to use these insoles in their ankle boot.
