Background

Customized foot orthoses (CFO) have been widely accepted to reduce the frequency of foot problems and postural disorders. The purpose of the research was to compare the influence of CFO utilization on the venous status among healthy females and males.

Methods

This was a quasi-experimental study (NCT03329430), which included 20 healthy subjects that completed all the stages of the process. The subjects showed an age mean of 20.00 ± 1.62 years and were recruited in a foot and ankle specialist center. Self-reported data were medical records and venous function which were evaluated by plethysmography with or without utilization of CFO.

Results

A sample of 40 feet was studied, showing statistically significant differences between venous filling time (P < 0.001) and in the ejection fraction (P < 0.001) with CFO utilization versus without use of CFO.

Conclusions

Healthy people who utilize CFO evidenced an increased venous return in the feet.

习惯性足部矫形器对静脉状态的影响：一项准实验研究

背景

定制足部矫形器（CFO）已被广泛接受，以减少脚部问题和姿势异常的发生率。该研究的目的是比较CFO的使用对健康女性和男性静脉状况的影响。

方法

这是一个准实验研究（NCT03329430），其中包括20位健康受试者，这些受试者完成了该过程的所有阶段。受试者的平均年龄为20.00±1.62岁，并在脚踝专家中心招募。自我报告的数据是病历和静脉功能，通过体积描记法评估是否使用CFO。

结果

对40英尺的样本进行了研究，结果显示在使用CFO的情况下与不使用CFO的情况下，静脉充盈时间（P <0.001）和射血分数（P <0.001）之间存在统计学上的显着差异。

结论

使用CFO的健康人证明脚部静脉回流增加。
