|
Purpose : The purpose of this study was to identify whether static and dynamic balance in young men were influenced by
the different height of insoles in their shoes.
Methods : Eighteen healthy young men (mean 20.61±1.38 years) were recruited for this study. The subjects’ static and
dynamic balance were assessed while wearing three different height’ insoles (0cm, 2cm, 3cm) in their tennis shoes.
Anterioposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) sway velocity was measured for 20 seconds using a force plate (Good balance system, Finland) under four conditions including normal standing with eyes open and with eyes closed, and tandem standing with eyes open and with eyes closed. The Functional Reach Test (FRT) and Timed Up & Go (TUG) were also performed for each subject under each condition.
Results : 1) ML and AP sway velocities in young men were significantly different according to the height of the insole in normal standing with eyes open and eyes closed. 2) ML and AP sway velocities in young men were not different according to the height of the insole in tandem standing with eyes open. 3) ML sway velocities in young men were significantly different according to the height of the insole in tandem standing with eyes closed, whereas AP sway velocities did not differ by height of the insole in tandem standing with eyes closed. 4) FRT scores in young men were significantly different according to the height of the insole. 5) TUG scores in young men were not significantly different according to the height of the insole.
Conclusions : This study’s results indicate that the static and dynamic balance in young men can be influenced by shoe insole height.
