Efficacy of Corrective Rubber Insoles in Healthcare Professionals With Foot Overpronation

Evaluation of the Efficacy of Corrective Rubber Insoles in a Population of Healthcare Professionals With Foot Overpronation


Sponsor

University of Milan

Enrollment

52 participants

Start Date

May 9, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Foot hyperpronation is a common postural condition that can lead to pain, deformities (such as hallux valgus), and muscular issues. This problem is especially relevant among adults who spend long hours standing, such as healthcare workers. Custom-made foot orthoses with a medial wedge have proven effective in improving comfort and correcting certain biomechanical alterations, even in asymptomatic individuals. The study described has two main objectives: * to validate the Italian version of the Foot Health Status Questionnaire (FHSQ), already validated in English and Spanish, by assessing its reliability and reproducibility as a tool to measure foot health. * through a pilot study, to analyze the effects of using specific professional footwear in healthcare workers with hyperpronation, evaluating perceived benefits in terms of pain reduction and postural improvement.
