About this study

Official title: Therapeutic Effects of Physical Function and Balance of Arch Support Insoles on Children

Using double blind, randomized controlled design to study the short-term therapeutic effects of customized arch support insoles on children

Read the detailed description

A total of 45 children were enrolled. The children were randomized into two groups, including the study group (insoles group) and the control group (without insoles group).

All participants in the insoles group were evaluated at baseline, that was before the customized arch-support insoles were prescribed. All the evaluations, including functional performance, physical function, and quality of life, were re-evaluated up to 12 weeks after the insoles wearing in the study group (insoles group).

The control group were evaluated at baseline and up to 12 weeks.
