Only one study on the prevention of disorders in lower limbs was identified (Larsen et al., 2002). When shock-absorbing and biomechanical shoe orthoses were tested in military service, users had less back and lower leg disorders than non-users. But because care-seeking for lower extremity problems is rare, the use of this kind of custom-made orthosis for prevention of MSDs in military conscripts would be too costly for wider application.
