For older adults, balance can be enhanced with custom orthotics and carefully chosen footwear. Thin, firm-soled shoes with a high collar provide stability by limiting excessive foot motion, reducing the risk of falls. Custom orthotics further aid in balance by offering sensory feedback and biomechanical support, which can improve posture. Studies suggest some insoles can help boost balance, while others may not. When paired with well-fitted footwear, orthotics can stabilize the foot, allowing for better weight distribution and alignment. This combination reduces the risk of falls, making it a valuable intervention for older adults looking to maintain independence and mobility. If you fit in this age category, it is suggested that you schedule an appointment with a podiatrist to discuss whether custom orthotics can help improve your comfort and stability.
