BackgroundPostural stability (PS) problems arise as individuals grow older, and as a result, risk of falling (RoF) increases in older adults. We sought to examine the effects of insoles of various thicknesses on PS and RoF in older adults.MethodsFifty-six study participants had PS and RoF evaluated statically and dynamically under five different conditions: barefoot, only-shoes, with 5-mm insoles, with 10-mm insoles, and with 15-mm insoles. Standard shoes with identical features were used. To avoid time-dependent problems, these assessments were performed under the same conditions in 3 consecutive weeks. The average of these three values was recorded.ResultsInsoles of different thicknesses significantly affected static PS (overall: P=. 003; mediolateral [ML]: P=. 021; anteroposterior [AP]: P=. 006), static RoF (overall, ML, and AP: P<. 001), dynamic RoF (overall: P=. 003; ML: P=. 042; AP: P=. 050), and dynamic …
