Abstract
Abstract--- In order to understand medial wedge insoles while walking on different surface hardness and geometry, we investigated the plantar pressure and rearfoot movement. Twenty eight subjects with normal feet were recruited. Five trials were collected with and without insole conditions, both on a hard and soft surface and on level and stair walking. Six plantar pressure parameters (PP, CA, CT, MF, PTI and FTI) and five rearfoot parameters (TO, TD, Max, Min and Vel) were calculated. The soft surface did not change the effectiveness of the wedge insoles, but the surface geometry produced significant changes. Only the Max and Min recorded changes both in hardness and geometry.
