First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a special foot insole can immediately improve foot bone angles in adults with flexible flat feet who have no pain. Thirty participants will get X-rays taken while standing barefoot and then while standing on the insole. The goal is to see if the insole changes key foot measurements, which could help guide future treatments.

- Active substance
- Semirigid foot insole
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that a simple insole helps correct foot alignment in people with flat feet, possibly guiding future treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early study with only 30 participants and no long-term follow-up. It only measures immediate X-ray changes, not pain or function, so results may not translate to real-world benefits.
