- Brief Summary
The effect of insoles supporting the cuboid and anterior calcaneus in 18 healthy subjects was investigated and found to reduce ankle joint power without reducing walking ability. It is thought that the use of carbon fibre insoles reduced ankle joint power without reducing walking ability and equalised power between the left and right sides. This was thought to reduce muscle strain on the unilateral lower limb.
