The construction of the five types of orthotic devices. The placebo insole (A) was made by cutting a flat urethane sheet to match each patient's footprint. These flat urethane sheets contain an active carbon to reduce foot odor. The inserted insole (B) consisted of a nylon seat, adhesive tape, and a lateral rubber wedge with an elevation of 6.35mm. The sock-type ankle supporter (C) extended from the to the metatarsals and a lateral wedged insole with an elevation of 6.35mm was sewn into the heel. The strapped insoles (D) consisted of an ankle support band with adhesive tape and a urethane lateral wedge with an elevation of 12mm. The ends of the supporter were twisted in a figure 8 around the ankle and subtalar joints. The ends were affixed with adhesive tape at the posterior ankle and subtalar joints. The flat footwear (E) has flat urethane soles with no heel.
