Brief Summary

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

In our study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of insoles specially designed for each patient and printed with 3D printers on the physical activity levels, balance and functional performances of those patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Our study, B.A.İ.B.Ü. İzzet Baysal Physical Therapy Training and Research Hospital and Fizyotermal Corp. It will be carried out as a dual center on individuals between the ages of 18-45 who apply to our clinic. It will be carried out by selecting 48 people who are suitable for the study among the flat-footed patients who applied to the clinics.

Patients will be evaluated before they start using the insoles, and immediately after using it , also after wearing the insoles for 8 weeks.

Patients will be randomized according to the order of their arrival at the clinic.

Intervention group

ICB Special Insoles

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

ICB Medical Insoles

Intervention Type OTHER

After the foot analysis of the participants in the intervention group, special insoles will be designed in a computer program. In these insoles, 3-6 mm medial wedge support, 1-3 mm heel wedge support, 2-4 mm medial longitudinal arch support will be provided. These values will be determined according to the needs of each participant. A single physiotherapist will design all insoles. All drawings will be made by a single physiotherapist. After the design of the insoles is completed, insoles will be produced by transferring them to a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine. Ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA), the use of which has been found useful before, will be used as the material in the insoles molds. After processing, 1mm thick fabric will be used for the top coating. All insoles will be produced by the same physiotherapist.

Control group

ICB Insoles

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

ICM Insoles

Intervention Type OTHER

As in the intervention group, insoles will be designed for the participants in the control group, processed by CNC machine and the production will be completed. Only 2mm medial longitudinal arch support will be given to the insoles of the people in this group.
