Abstract

This systematic review explores the biomechanical and subjective effects of shoe inserts, including foot orthotics (FOs) and insoles, in asymptomatic subjects. Aimed at understanding their implications, the review poses two key research questions: (i) the influence of shoe inserts on lower extremity biomechanics and subjective perception and (ii) the effects of different design characteristics on these aspects. Following Preferred Reporting of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines, a meticulous search of Scopus and PubMed from August 2022 to March 2023 yielded 34 articles, with 26 focusing on biomechanical effects and eight on comfort effects. The studies, conducted during static and dynamic activities, such as standing, walking, jogging, running, jumping, and cycling, reveal significant reductions in rearfoot eversion, knee joint forces, and lower extremity muscle forces through postings and wedging in FOs. Changes in stiffness impact rearfoot kinematics, plantar pressure distribution, and ankle–foot power distribution. Conversely, surface texture and arch variations demonstrate limited significance. FOs and shoe inserts, characterized by geometric, material, location, size, and fabrication features, effectively regulate forces and moments on the lower extremity. This control promotes uniform plantar pressure distribution and enhances comfort during various activities. These insights benefit manufacturers, clinicians, and stakeholders, providing a deeper understanding of the positive benefits of FOs and shoe inserts. However, further well-designed studies on clinical populations are necessary to validate these findings and establish their clinical efficacy, as the current focus remains on healthy subjects.

对无症状受试者鞋垫引起的生物力学和主观影响的说明性分析:关于功能和作用机制的系统综述
本系统综述探讨了鞋垫(包括足部矫形器和鞋垫)对无症状受试者的生物力学和主观影响。为了了解其影响,该综述提出了两个关键研究问题:(i) 鞋垫对下肢生物力学和主观感觉的影响;(ii) 不同设计特点对这些方面的影响。根据《系统综述和元分析首选报告指南》,从 2022 年 8 月到 2023 年 3 月,我们对 Scopus 和 PubMed 进行了细致的搜索,共搜索到 34 篇文章,其中 26 篇侧重于生物力学影响,8 篇侧重于舒适性影响。这些研究是在站立、行走、慢跑、跑步、跳跃和骑自行车等静态和动态活动中进行的,研究结果表明,通过在 FOs 中进行张贴和楔入,后足外翻、膝关节力和下肢肌肉力显著降低。硬度的变化会影响后足运动学、足底压力分布和踝足力量分布。相反,表面纹理和足弓变化的影响有限。FOs 和鞋垫的几何形状、材料、位置、尺寸和制造特点可有效调节下肢的力和力矩。这种控制可促进足底压力的均匀分布,并提高各种活动中的舒适度。这些见解使制造商、临床医生和利益相关者受益匪浅,让他们对 FOs 和鞋垫的积极益处有了更深入的了解。然而,由于目前的研究重点仍然是健康受试者,因此有必要在临床人群中开展进一步的精心设计的研究,以验证这些发现并确定其临床疗效。

期刊介绍: The purpose of Human Factors and Ergonomics in Manufacturing & Service Industries is to facilitate discovery, integration, and application of scientific knowledge about human aspects of manufacturing, and to provide a forum for worldwide dissemination of such knowledge for its application and benefit to manufacturing industries. The journal covers a broad spectrum of ergonomics and human factors issues with a focus on the design, operation and management of contemporary manufacturing systems, both in the shop floor and office environments, in the quest for manufacturing agility, i.e. enhancement and integration of human skills with hardware performance for improved market competitiveness, management of change, product and process quality, and human-system reliability. The inter- and cross-disciplinary nature of the journal allows for a wide scope of issues relevant to manufacturing system design and engineering, human resource management, social, organizational, safety, and health issues. Examples of specific subject areas of interest include: implementation of advanced manufacturing technology, human aspects of computer-aided design and engineering, work design, compensation and appraisal, selection training and education, labor-management relations, agile manufacturing and virtual companies, human factors in total quality management, prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, ergonomics of workplace, equipment and tool design, ergonomics programs, guides and standards for industry, automation safety and robot systems, human skills development and knowledge enhancing technologies, reliability, and safety and worker health issues.
