Biomechanical effect between conventional and 3-dimensional printed customized foot orthoses on medial longitudinal arch support and rearfoot angle in adults with flexible flatfeet
Thus, Cinsole and 3Dinsole are effective alternative treatments of MLA support and rearfoot alignment in adults with flexible flatfoot. 3D printing is a future technology with potential to replace conventional production methods. However, material characteristics, design, and manufacturing process can affect treatment outcomes; hence, our results may not represent all variations of 3D printed foot orthoses.
