Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of rigid and soft foot orthoses on forefoot and rearfoot forces in a 20-year-old female runner with a history of tibial and metatarsal stress fractures. The results of this study indicate that a soft orthosis significantly reduced vertical forces through the foot during both walking and running. The authors recommend that proper fabrication materials be considered for those patients with a history of foot or lower extremity problems caused by reduced shock attenuation.

摘要

本研究的目的是比较刚性和软性足部矫形器对一名有胫骨和跖骨应力性骨折病史的20岁女性跑步者前足和后足受力的影响。本研究结果表明，软性矫形器在步行和跑步过程中均能显著降低通过足部的垂直力。作者建议，对于有因减震能力下降导致足部或下肢问题病史的患者，应考虑使用合适的制作材料。
