This article reviews the epidemiology of running injuries, the rationale and application of custom foot orthoses for running, and the design and material choices for fabrication in one laboratory. In an age of evidence-based medicine, much research must be done to look further at foot orthotic efficacy and how these devices contribute to an injury management plan. When designing custom foot orthoses for running, the differences between walking and running mechanics must be considered. Choices of the foot care specialist depend on patient body habitus, foot type, biomechanical scenario, and desired functional performance expectations.
本文回顾了跑步损伤的流行病学、定制足部矫形器用于跑步的基本原理和应用，以及在一个实验室中进行制作时的设计和材料选择。在循证医学时代，必须开展更多研究，进一步探究足部矫形器的功效以及这些器械如何融入损伤管理计划。在设计用于跑步的定制足部矫形器时，必须考虑步行和跑步力学之间的差异。足部护理专家的选择取决于患者的身体体型、足型、生物力学情况以及期望的功能表现预期。
