Abstract:   (29 Views)
Background and purpose:  In runners with flat feet, biomechanical imbalance becomes more apparent due to the increase in the forces that enter the body, which will increase energy consumption in runners. Therefore, the aim of this research is the effect of medical insoles on the energy consumption of in soliders runners with flat feet.
Methods: In this study a treadmill and a Quark b2 were used to measure oxygen consumption. Also, a pair of medical insoles were prepared for the patient's foot size. In this study, the maximum heart rate, oxygen consumption and maximum oxygen consumption of patients with flat feet were measured and calculated with and without the use of medical insoles.
Results: In this study, after using the foot orthoses, the mean VO2 (ML/M)4604.6 to 4588.3 (P=0.036) and theVO2 max (ML/M for each Kg of body weight)65.2 to 64.4 (P=0.03) and the maximum heart rate respectively reduced 170/4 to 169/1(p=0/032). all of which indicating a significant observed reduction (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The use of medical insoles can bring back more of the natural walking conditions and lower energy consumption in people with flat feet, and as a result, the energy consumption of the person is reduced.
