Abstract

Foot orthotics, also known as shoe inserts or insoles, have garnered significant attention in both medical and athletic spheres for their potential to improve biomechanical function and alleviate various musculoskeletal conditions. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of foot orthotics, encompassing their types, functions, mechanisms of action, and clinical applications. Through a review of relevant literature, this article explores the biomechanical principles underlying the design and efficacy of foot orthotics in addressing conditions such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and overpronation. Additionally, it examines the role of foot orthotics in optimizing athletic performance and preventing sports-related injuries. The paper concludes by discussing future directions in foot orthotics research and the potential for innovative technologies to further enhance their therapeutic benefits.
