About this trial
This randomized controlled trial will investigate the effects of custom CAD/CAM insoles on plantar pressure distribution and gait parameters in individuals with foot deformities, such as pes planus, pes cavus, and hallux valgus. A total of 30 participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group, receiving custom CAD/CAM insoles, or the control group, receiving no insole intervention.
Plantar pressure measurements will be performed using the As200 Gait Scan Pedobarography System at baseline and after eight weeks. Static and dynamic plantar pressure variables, contact area, and center of pressure displacement will be assessed, along with gait parameters including step length, step time, and walking speed.
The results of this study may contribute to the development of effective conservative treatment strategies to improve foot biomechanics and reduce pressure-related complications in individuals with foot deformities.
