Clinical Study Finds Aetrex Orthotics Reduce Pain and Fear of Falling for Seniors

A clinical study conducted in Liverpool, England, in collaboration with The University of Liverpool, has revealed that Aetrex Premium Memory Foam Orthotics, with or without metatarsal support, significantly alleviate common sources of pain including back, foot, hip, knee, and ankle pain in seniors. Moreover, these orthotics effectively reduce the fear of falling among older individuals.

The study, which involved 206 participants ages 60 and older, demonstrated that orthotics with a metatarsal pad offer superior performance due to improved body position awareness, aiding balance. Dr. George Ampat, the study lead, emphasized that integrating orthotics into footwear is a simple, non-invasive, and cost-effective approach to mitigate pain and promote healthy aging, particularly for those experiencing foot pain.
