Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Healthy male and female subjects between the ages of 18-60 years inclusive.
  • Subjects who are able to give written informed consent.
  • Subjects who are able to understand the study, cooperate with the study procedures and are able to attend all study assessments.
  • Subjects who are willing to wear a t-shirt and shorts during the study assessments.
  • Subjects who are willing and able to stand for a minimum of two hours at a time during the study assessments.
  • Subject with shoe size between 4.5 to 11 (UK) / 37 to 45 (European).

  • Subjects who can achieve the acceptable fit of standard shoes.
  • Subjects who do not have any walking impairments and can walk without distress. This will be determined through walking at a speed of 3-5 kmph for a distance of 30 m.
  • Subjects with a Foot Posture Index (FPI) between 6 and 9 showing mild pronation as determined by the study Investigator or designees.
  • Subjects with a BMI between 18.5 - 24.9 kg/m2.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects who are pregnant or who have given birth within the last 6 months.
  • Subjects who have a medical condition that could compromise the use of the orthotic insoles (peripheral vascular disease or sensory neuropathy).
  • Subjects that have Leg Length Discrepancy (LLD) of more than 5 mm. This will be determined using the Downings Sign (7), a test which is used to establish actual versus functional LLD. This will be cross-referenced with anatomical land marks.
  • Subjects that use prescribed or self-administrated orthotics to correct biomechanical or other issues.
  • Subject that have received any previous orthotic treatment.
  • Subjects who have a current or previous injury that has prevented their usual activities for more than 3 weeks in the last year.
Show all 16Show fewer
  • Subjects with history of lower limb or foot surgery, inflammatory disease, neurological disease, diabetes, leg ulceration, skin grafts or any other condition that in the opinion of the Investigator or designees could interfere with the assessments in this study.
  • Subjects having ischemia or poor blood supply to the feet, Charcot Arthropathy, autoimmune disease (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis) and connective tissue disease (e.g. scleroderma).
  • Subjects demonstrating symptoms of macrovascular diseases (e.g. angina, stroke).
  • Individuals suffering from other conditions affecting the feet, such as infectious foot conditions, which in the opinion of the Investigator or designees, would interfere with the generation of data and risk the spread of infection to other subjects through the use of the standard shoe.
  • Individuals with broken/irritated or damaged skin on their feet.
  • Individuals suffering from relevant product allergies or sensitivities.
  • Individuals who have consulted a healthcare professional for a gait related or foot pain issue.
  • Individuals who were previously in another clinical study within the last 3 months prior to screening assessment.
  • Employees who are directly involved with the study at study site.
  • Any partner or first degree relative of anyone that has a role in the study at the CRO/Site/Sponsor.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Insoles and Standard shoe in people with Healthy Subject, run by Reckitt Benckiser Healthcare (UK) Limited at 1 site in Belgium.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Belgium. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

In shoe dynamic pressure (shock absorption and loading pattern) Impact on Gait (time frame: 2 hours). The study lists 19 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Sep 2018.
