The efficiency of gait plate insole for children with in-toeing gait due to femoral antetorsion.
Prosthetics and Orthotics International 2017 Februrary
BACKGROUND: One of the most common gait disorders in children is in-toeing. Few studies have examined the efficacy gait plate insole in in-toeing. we used more precise apparatus than previous studies.
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the immediate effect of gait plate insole on the angle of gait and center of pressure displacement in children with in-toeing gait.
STUDY DESIGN: Quasi-experimental before -after study.
METHODS: The angle of gait and center of pressure displacement were measured in 17 children aged 4-10 years with in-toeing gait. The RS scan pressure platform was employed to perform walking tests in three conditions including barefoot, with shoes only, and gait plate insole with shoes.
RESULTS: The gait plate insole with shoes as well as shoes alone produced a significant 11.1° and 3.85° increase in the angle of gait in in-toeing children respectively ( p < 0.05). The medial-lateral displacement of center of pressure showed a significant difference (3 mm) in shoes only condition when compared with barefoot condition. The shoes only and gait plate insole compared with barefoot condition increased the anterior-posterior displacement by 28 and 30 mm respectively.
CONCLUSION: The gait plate insole with ordinary shoes and shoes only were able to increase angle of gait and the center of pressure displacement in the anterior-posterior direction in children with in-toeing gait due to excessive femoral anteversion. Clinical relevance The use of a gait plate insole inserted in ordinary shoes can improve gait appearance in children with in-toeing gait caused by Excessive femoral anteversion.
