    Abstract Introduction: Health specialists suggest a conservative approach comprising non-pharmacological interventions as the initial course of action for individuals with repetitive ankle sprain due to ankle instability. This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of biomechanical devices (Foot Orthoses, Ankle Orthoses, and Taping) on gait and muscle activity in individuals with ankle instability.
    Methods: A systematic search was performed on electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Clinical Trials.gov, Web of Science, and Scopus. The PEDro scoring system was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies. We extracted data from population, intervention, and outcome measures.
    Results: In the initial search, we found 247 articles. After following the steps of the PRISMA flowchart, only 22 reports met the inclusion criteria of this study. The results show that biomechanical device therapy may increase swing time, stance time, and step. Additionally, studies suggest that these devices can reduce plantar flexion, inversion, and motion variability during gait. Biomechanical devices have the potential to optimize the subtalar valgus moment, push-off, and braking forces exerted during walking, as well as enhance the activity of specific muscles including the peroneus longus, peroneus brevis, tibialis anterior, gluteus medius, lateral gastrocnemius, rectus femoris, and soleus.
    Conclusion: Biomechanical devices affect gait (spatiotemporal, kinetic, and kinematic variables) and lower limb muscle activity (root mean square, reaction time, amplitude, reflex, and wave) in subjects with ankle instability.

    Abstract Purpose: This study examined the effects of a dynamic neoprene orthosis on kinematic variables of gait in children with spastic bilateral cerebral palsy (CP).
    Methods: Five children (whose median age was 9.6 years and who ranged in age from six to 12) with spastic bilateral CP and flexed knee at levels I-III of the Gross Motor Function Classification System were examined using kinematic gait analysis in three different conditions: 1) with dynamic neoprene orthosis; 2) without dynamic neoprene orthosis (immediate effect); and 3) without orthosis after six weeks of intervention.
    Results: The comparison between condition one (with dynamic neoprene orthosis) and condition two (without dynamic neoprene orthosis) demonstrated the existence of improvements in minimum hip and knee flexion variables. Moreover, the results indicated that the improvements remained constant in several key gait variables after six weeks.
    Conclusion: The results varied from subject to subject, and there were signs of improvement in some of the subjects. Therefore, it was not possible to draw conclusions at a group level. Nonetheless, a number of individuals may benefit from this type of orthosis.

    Abstract Background: Although physical activity (PA) is an important determinant of health, physically disabled individuals tend to have a sedentary lifestyle. The Barriers to Physical Activity Questionnaire for People with Mobility Impairments (BPAQ-MI) is a self-report instrument evaluating PA barriers. This study was intended to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Persian version of BPAQ-MI (P-BPAQ-MI) and to report the prevalence and severity of PA barriers among Persian-speaking individuals.
    Methods: The translation and back translation of the BPAQ-MI was conducted according to an internationally accepted guideline and tested on 163 participants to assess its reliability and validity. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were analyzed using Cronbach alpha and Spearman correlation coefficient. Convergent construct validity was established by comparing the scores of P-BPAQ-MI and The Baecke Habitual Physical Activity Questionnaire. Known-groups construct validity was assessed with regard to type of assistive device and sex of the individual. Prevalence and severity of the barriers were reported by computing the percentage and means of "yes" answers.
    Results: The P-BPAQ-MI domains demonstrated very good internal consistency (Cronbach alpha of .77-.95) and excellent test-retest reliability (Spearman rho of .73-.96) with a significant inverse small correlation with Baecke Habitual Physical Activity Questionnaire indexes. The P-BPAQ-MI successfully discriminated between individuals with different assistive devices and sex. Community Built Environment barriers were the most prevalent and severe.
    Conclusions: The P-BPAQ-MI is a valid and reliable instrument to assess the PA barriers of people with physical disability. The community barriers were the most frequently reported obstacles to PA.

    Abstract Background: Osteoporosis is a silent and asymptomatic disease that leads to thoracic hyperkyphosis, which can interfere with the normal function of the paraspinal musculature and balance control. There is no evidence regarding the effect of the anatomical posture control (APC) orthosis in older people with osteoporotic thoracic hyperkyphosis. This study aimed to examine the effects of this novel orthosis on the electromyography (EMG) of the erector spinae (ES) and balance control in this group of patients.
    Methods: In total, 22 elderly osteoporotic subjects with thoracic hyperkyphosis were enrolled in this study. The participants used the orthosis for 4 weeks. The clinical balance assessment scales assessing fall risk and surface EMG (sEMG) signals were recorded from the erector spinae muscles bilaterally before and after the use of orthosis. The marginal model was used with the generalized estimating equation analysis for investigating the effect of this orthosis on the sEMG of the paraspinal muscles and the balance control in this longitudinal study.
    Results: The normalized root mean square of sEMG of the lumbar and thoracic ES muscles reduced significantly (P<0.05), and significant improvement was observed (
    Conclusion: APC orthosis can decrease the activity of ES muscles during static standing and improve the static and dynamic balance in the hyperkyphotic osteoporotic subjects.

    Abstract Background:: Chronic ankle instability as a prevalent consequence of ankle sprain causes various impairments such as balance and postural control deficits. Foot orthoses are one of the common interventions for rehabilitation of patients with chronic ankle instability.
    Objectives:: To investigate the effect of custom-molded foot orthoses with textured surfaces on dynamic balance of chronic ankle instability patients and to compare their effects with other types of foot orthoses.
    Study design:: This is a repeated measure design.
    Methods:: A total of 30 participants were recruited based on the guideline introduced by the International Ankle Consortium. The effect of prefabricated, custom-molded, and custom-molded with textured surface foot orthoses was evaluated on dynamic balance by the Star Excursion Balance Test. Normalized reach distances in anteromedial, medial, and posteromedial directions of the test were computed to be used for statistical analysis.
    Results:: The foot orthoses increased reach distances compared to the no-orthosis conditions in all three directions. The custom-molded with textured surface foot orthosis has significant differences compared with prefabricated foot orthosis ( p = 0.001) in all measured directions and with custom-molded foot orthosis ( p < 0.01) in medial and posteromedial directions.
    Conclusion:: Foot orthoses improve reach distances in patients with chronic ankle instability. Custom-molded with textured surface foot orthosis has a more pronounced effect compared with other foot orthoses.
    Clinical relevance: The custom-molded foot orthosis with textured surface could be an effective device to improve dynamic balance in chronic ankle instability (CAI) patients. It may be considered as an efficient intervention to reduce ankle sprain recurrence in these individuals, although further research should be conducted.

    Abstract Background and aim: Gait and balance disorders are common in the elderly populations, and their prevalence increases with age. This systematic review was performed to summarize the current evidence for subthreshold vibration interventions on postural control and gait in elderly.
    Method: A review of intervention studies including the following words in the title/abstract: insole, foot and ankle appliances, vibration, noise and elderly related to balance and gait. Databases searched included PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge, Ovid, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Fifteen articles were selected for final evaluation. The procedure was followed using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis method.
    Results: There was reduction in center of pressure velocity and displacement especially with eyes closed using vibration in healthy elderly subjects and this effect was greater in elderly faller and patients with more balance deficiency. Vibration programme training increased speed of walking, cadence, step time and length in stroke subjects. The vibratory insoles significantly improved performance on the Timed Up and Go and Functional Reach tests in older people.
    Conclusion: Vibration was effective on balance improvement in elderly subject especially elderly with more balance deficiency and it can improve gait parameters in patients with greater baseline variability.

    Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a total-contact insole with and without subthreshold mechanical random noise on the balance control in diabetic patients with mild-to-moderate peripheral neuropathy. Twenty diabetic patients with mild-to-moderate neuropathy was recruited to this study. A total-contact insole was prototyped and vibratory motors were embedded into it. The parameters of the center of pressure (amplitude, velocity, and phase plane portrait) were analyzed after 30-minute walks with the shoe only, the shoe with vibro-medical insole with and without vibrations in eyes open and closed condition. The center of pressure amplitude, velocity, and phase plane portrait in the anterior-posterior and medio-lateral directions were significantly decreased using a vibro-medical insole without vibration in the eyes open condition (p < 0.05), as compared to the shoe, and with vibro- medical insole with vibration in both eyes open and closed conditions (p < 0.05) compared to the shoe. A significant drop was observed in the center of pressure amplitude, velocity and phase plane portrait parameters when the vibro-medical insole with vibration was used compared to vibro- medical insole without vibration in eyes closed condition (p < 0.05). The use of vibro-medical insoles was found to improve the patient's balance control, as compared to the shoe. In the eyes closed condition, an improvement in the balance control was observed only with vibro-medical insole with vibration rather than vibro-medical insole without vibration or the shoe. Current finding suggest that a combination of the total-contact insole with vibration may improve the balance control remarkably in diabetic patients with mild-to-moderate neuropathy.

    Abstract Weakness in finger extensors is a common post-stroke deficit that can disturb hand functioning. Despite introducing several powered hand orthoses in literature, most of these devices focused on providing finger flexion. There is a little consideration for providing active hand extension in stroke patients. Moreover, in many devices, the finger extensions were restored passively by spring component. In this study, a new Electromyography (EMG)-controlled powered hand orthosis was designed to improve hand function by restoring and training hand extension in stroke patients with paretic hand. This orthosis was a glove-like device that was developed from two mechanical and electrical sections. After construction and verifying of the orthosis, its applicability was tested on two patients with Cerebrovascular accident (1 woman and 1 man) with paretic hands in an 18-session therapeutic approach. To evaluate the effectiveness of orthosis, Wolf Motor Function Test and Box and Block test were conducted before and after the training sessions. The primary assessment of the prototype was conducted on a healthy subject and three stroke patients. These evaluations showed that the new powered hand orthosis could be effective for finger extension task and training. Furthermore, after the 18-session training approach, significant improvements were seen in the scores of both Wolf and Box and Block tests. The preliminary findings suggested that the first prototype of orthosis could provide a desirable function for stroke patients with paretic hand. Moreover, it could be used as a training device in the rehabilitation of these patients.

    Abstract Peripheral sensory neuropathy seems to be the main risk factor for diabetic foot ulceration. Previous studies demonstrated that stochastic resonance can improve the vibrotactile sensation of diabetic patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Vibro-medical insole on pressure and vibration sensation in diabetic patients with mild-to-moderate peripheral neuropathy. A total of 20 patients with mild-to-moderate diabetic neuropathy were included in the pre-test and post-test clinical trial study. Vibro-medical insole consists of medical insole and vibratory system. Medical insole was made independently for each participant and vibratory system was inserted in it. Pressure and vibration sensation were evaluated before and after 30-min walking with Vibro-medical insole. Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments and tuning fork were used to evaluate pressure and vibration sensation, respectively. Pressure sensation showed significantly improvement using Vibro-medical insole at the heel, first and fifth metatarsophalangeal heads, and hallux of both feet in all participants (p < 0.001). Vibration sensation also improved at the big toe of both feet with 256 Hz tuning fork (p < 0.05) but no statistically significant effect was found with 128 Hz tuning fork (p > 0.05). Vibro-medical insole significantly improved pressure and vibration sensation of the foot in diabetic patients with mild-to-moderate peripheral neuropathy. The results suggest that Vibro-medical insole can be used for daily living activities to overcome sensory loss in diabetic neuropathy patients.

    Abstract Background: The first aim of this study was to determine the effect of a vibro-medical insole on pressure sensation and the second was to measure the effects of a vibro-medical insole with and without random noise on plantar pressure distribution in diabetic patients with mild-to-moderate peripheral neuropathy.
    Methods: Twenty patients with mild-to-moderate diabetic neuropathy were recruited in the clinical trial pre-test, post-test study. A medical insole was made for each participant and a vibratory system was inserted into it. Pressure sensation was evaluated before and after the 30-min walk using the vibro-medical insole with added random noise by Semmes-Weinstein Monofilaments. Peak pressure data was measured before and after 30-min walking with a vibro-medical insole with and without random noise by the Pedar-x system.
    Findings: Pressure sensations showed improvement after 30-min walking with the vibro-medical insole with added random noise at the heel, metatarsophalangeal heads and hallux of both feet in all participants (p < 0.05). Peak pressure decreased significantly in the heel, MTP
    Interpretation: Thirty minute walking with a vibro-medical insole seems to improve pressure sensation and alter peak pressure in diabetic patients with mild-to-moderate peripheral neuropathy. This work suggests that vibro-medical insoles can be used for daily living activities and possibly decreases the risk of ulceration in diabetic neuropathy patients.
