Sperimentale: Custom-Made Total Contact Insole Group
Participants assigned to this group received individually customized total contact insoles and wore them during the 8-week intervention period.
After the baseline assessment, participants wore the insoles and walked at least 320 steps for familiarization before the immediate post-intervention assessment.
Participants were instructed to wear the insoles for at least per day during the intervention period.
|
Individually customized total contact insoles were fabricated by trained orthotic professionals according to each participant's foot morphology.
The insoles were designed to support the medial longitudinal arch, lateral longitudinal arch, and transverse arch, and to increase contact between the plantar surface of the foot and the insole.
After the baseline assessment, participants wore the custom-made total contact insoles and walked at least 320 steps for familiarization before the immediate post-intervention assessment.
Participants were instructed to wear the insoles for at per day during the 8-week intervention period.

|
Nessun intervento: Control Group
Participants assigned to the control group continued using their usual insoles and did not receive the custom-made total contact insole intervention during the 8-week study period.
Footwear from participants in both groups was handled using the same procedure to maintain participant masking.

Static Postural Control During Quiet Standing
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, immediately after initial insole use, Week 4, and Week 8
|
Static postural control was assessed using dual Hawkin Dynamics force platforms during three 30-second eyes-open quiet-standing trials.
Outcomes included mediolateral and anteroposterior sway length, total sway length, sway range, and average sway velocity, calculated separately for the left and right sides to characterize postural stability and directional control during quiet standing.

Timed Up and Go Total Time
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, immediately after initial insole use, Week 4, and Week 8
|
Functional mobility and movement control were assessed using the Timed Up and Go test with a G-Walk wearable inertial sensor.
Outcomes included total completion time and phase durations for Sit-to-Stand, Forward Gait, Mid Turning, Return Gait, End Turning, and Stand-to-Sit.
Maximum and minimum trunk accelerations in the vertical, mediolateral, and anteroposterior directions, peak trunk flexion and extension angles and ranges of motion during Sit-to-Stand and Stand-to-Sit, and mean and peak trunk angular velocities during turning phases were also recorded.

Gait Performance During the 10-Meter Walk Test
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, immediately after initial insole use, Week 4, and Week 8
|
Gait performance was assessed during a 10-meter walk test using the G-Walk wearable inertial sensor positioned over the fifth lumbar vertebra.
Participants walked at their natural or self-selected speed, and two trials were performed.
Outcomes included cadence, gait speed, bilateral symmetry index, left and right stride cycle time, stride length, stride length normalized to height, stance phase, swing phase, first double-support phase, single-support phase, propulsion index, walking quality index, and pelvic tilt, obliquity, and rotation symmetry indices.

Plantar Pressure During Walking
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, after initial use of the assigned insole condition, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks
|
Peak plantar pressure (kPa) was measured for the dominant foot using the F-Scan in-shoe plantar pressure system during the 10-meter walk test.
Measurements were obtained for the total foot and predefined plantar regions, including the heel, midfoot, metatarsal regions, and toe regions.
