The use of additional somatosensory information favors the static and dynamic postural control. However, the comprehensiveness of devices to promote plenty of somatosensory information is still insufficient. An insole with forty semi-spheres of 5 mm in diameter distributed over its surface was designed to enhance tactile sensory information from the soles of the feet, thus improving biped and static upright postural control of adults, ordinary seniors and seniors individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD). In the elderly living with PD, its effects were significant in static postural control and inexpressive effects in locomotion, whereas in other people it provided slightly positive effects. However, due to sample profiles and abilities assessed, such effects are not critical to deeply understand of the benefits/losses of the abundance of somatosensory information on human postural control due to the sample present deleterious effects of aging conjugate to degenerative disease of the CNS. The objective of this work was to evaluate the insole studied in static and dynamic conditions of postural control using a balance platform in order to understand the scale of the benefits/losses of this device in the human balance. To achieve this goal, three experiments were carried out. Twelve young male adults, avowedly healthy and left- handed to stand in one foot attended the study. In all tasks, the participants made three valid attempts using conventional insole [S] and proprioceptive insole [X]. In the first experiment, the participants remained in single leg orthostatic balance, for 10 seconds on a force balance platform alternating both support limbs. The results showed that the use of proprioceptive insole [X] mediolateral oscillation reduced in both limbs ([D] and [E]). In the second experiment, the participants performed the task of sitting and raisi... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
