Validation of Plantar Orthoses for Abnormal Plantar Arch Using a New Non-invasive Clinical Imaging System

Validation of Plantar Orthoses for Abnormal Plantar Arch Using a New Non-invasive Clinical Imaging System

The goal of this project is to validate a new non-invasive clinical imaging system to evaluate the efficacy of plantar orthotics and to assess the biomechanical efficiency of plantar orthotics for people with flat or high arch feet. The Cryovizion system should detect changes in participants' posture with an accuracy of 95%, while orthotics should improve the body's postural symmetry index.

Inclusion Criteria:

• BMI<30

• No musculoskeletal disorders
• No balance disorders
• No pathologies linked to the central nervous system
• No use of drugs affecting the balance

Exclusion Criteria:

• People with foot pathology other than the arch;
• People with diabetes ;
• People with severe obesity ;
• People wearing high heel shoes regularly ;
• People with degenerative disease ;
• People with neuromuscular pathology ;
• People with a circulatory disorder ;
• People who have had major lower body surgery;
