Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to investigate the following among ambulatory individuals:
(1) the effects of wearing functional footwear on physical functions such as gait performance,
(2) the incidence of newly developed conditions such as knee osteoarthritis, and
(3) the impact of foot condition on activity levels.
Additionally, in order to assess potential improvement effects, a longitudinal follow-up will be conducted on anatomical features of the foot, lower limb muscle strength, and body composition metrics such as waist circumference and body fat percentage.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

The primary outcome of this study is the improvement in physical functions, particularly focusing on toe-ground contact and lower limb muscle strength.

Key secondary outcomes

(1) To evaluate the effects of footwear on gait function by comparing gait analysis and foot morphology assessments under both footwear-wearing and non-wearing conditions in the same participants.
(2) To compare the incidence of newly developed joint disorders and other diseases using medical insurance claims data, adjusting for underlying health conditions.
(3) To compare the rates of certification for long-term care needs and the incidence of dementia between the study group and a control group using data from the long-term care insurance system.
