| Abstract | BACKGROUND: After foot surgery or in diseases such as diabetes, orthopaedic shoes with an elevated sole construction are used to off-load the affected foot. The height difference between the shoes results in a leg length discrepancy and an abnormal gait pattern arises which can cause long-term discomfort in the joints of the lower extremity and the lower back. To compensate for this discrepancy and to ensure a symmetrical gait pattern a Twin Shoe (Darco) has been designed. AIM: To investigate the effect of wearing orthopaedic shoes in combination with the Twin Shoe on normal gait biomechanics. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional study in a laboratory setting. METHODS: Normal gait was recorded in 15 healthy subjects with a gait analysis system. Four different shoe conditions were measured. Selected biomechanical parameters were calculated and compared between the shoe conditions. RESULTS: Walking in orthopaedic shoes with an elevated sole without compensation on the contralateral side leads to significant asymmetrical joint movements and higher loads in feet, knees, hips and the lower back during gait. By using the Twin Shoe these abnormal patterns were improved but not entirely compensated. CONCLUSIONS: Using the Twin Shoe as a partner to orthopaedic shoes with an elevated sole construction improves gait asymmetry and increased loading of joints induced by functional leg length discrepancy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
