Background. The sensomotor insole (SMI) has clinically been shown to be successful in treating an intoeing gait. We investigated the biomechanical effect of SMI on a pediatric intoeing gait by using three-dimensional gait analysis.

Methods. Six patients with congenital clubfeet and four patients with idiopathic intoeing gait were included. There were five boys and five girls with the average age at testing of 5.6 years. The torsional profile of the lower limb was assessed clinically. Three-dimensional gait analysis was performed in the same shoes with and without SMI.

Results. All clubfeet patients exhibited metatarsal adductus, while excessive femoral anteversion and/or internal tibial torsion was found in patients with idiopathic intoeing gait. SMI showed significant decreased internal rotation of the proximal femur in terminal swing phase and loading response phase. The internal rotation of the tibia was significantly smaller in mid stance phase and terminal stance phase by SMI. In addition, SMI significantly increased the walking speed and the step length.

Conclusions. SMI improved abnormal gait patterns of pediatric intoeing gait by decreasing femoral internal rotation through the end of the swing phase and the beginning of the stance phase and by decreasing tibial internal rotation during the stance phase.

So far I had clinical experiences with sensomotoric foot orthoses after Jahrling consistent with those described in the research paper. I hope more research will be coming forward to clear up remaining questions.

In-toe gait is a common source of gait abnormalities. In many cases, patients have not receive appropriate treatments, then they suffering from leg pain, diminished walking distance, and a tendency to fall. The current study utilises a sensomotoric insert to improve gait and analysed its effect using directional statistics. The foot progression angle (FPA) is a critical measure of the in-toe gait. Although biomechanical measurements utilise directional data, directional statistics techniques have not been applied thus far in this field. We applied directional statistics methods to analyse the therapeutic effect of the SMI. The improvement in the gait was confirmed by performing a series of statistical tests on the mean, median, concentration, and distribution of the FPA values. This approach of directional statistics can be applied to many aspects of gait treatment.
