As people age, maintaining balance becomes increasingly important to prevent falls and injuries. Custom-made orthotics are specialized shoe inserts that can play an important role in enhancing balance among older individuals. These inserts are designed to provide support and stability, addressing issues such as arch collapse, foot misalignment, and pronation, which can contribute to balance problems. By correcting these biomechanical issues, orthotics help distribute body weight evenly, reducing strain on joints and muscles while promoting proper alignment. Selecting appropriate footwear is essential for balance maintenance. Shoes with supportive soles, cushioning, and a firm grip can improve stability and reduce the risk of slips and falls. Also, footwear with a wider base and low heel can offer better stability and minimize the chances of imbalance. If you are an older adult with balance issues, it is strongly suggested that you make an appointment with a podiatrist to discuss how the combination of custom-made orthotics and well-fitting footwear can help you maintain an active and independent lifestyle.
