[OBJECTIVES] Medial heel wedges are commonly prescribed to manage the weight-bearing response of hindfoot valgus and the total weight-bearing responses of the navicular and talus bones. Previous studies have reported that a medial heel wedge is effective in the management of musculoskeletal injuries. However, it remains unclear the effect of a medial heel wedge on the weight-bearing responses of foot-arch bones in vivo. To clarify the effects of a medial heel wedge on the weight-bearing response of hindfoot valgus and the total weight-bearing responses of the navicular and talus bones is necessary to understand how best to treat musculoskeletal injuries clinically. The purpose of our study was to clarify the effects of a medial heel wedge on the weight-bearing response of hindfoot valgus and the total weight-bearing responses of the navicular and talus bones. [METHODS] Twenty-five healthy males were analyzed. We obtained MRI scanning of the right foot under non-loading (NL) and full weight-bearing (FW) conditions. Participants wore two insole types, a flat insole and a medial heel wedge. To evaluate the weight-bearing response in hindfoot valgus, the hindfoot alignment view (HAV) was measured. We also measured navicular and talus bone positions and calculated the total positional changes of the navicular and talus bones (ΔTPCN, ΔTPCT) from the vertical and medial displacements using the Pythagorean theorem. [RESULTS] Significant interactions were observed with the HAV. Under both NL and FW conditions, the HAV was smaller on the medial heel wedge than on the flat insole. In addition, the ΔTPCN was significantly smaller on the medial heel wedge than on the flat insole. However, no significant differences were observed for ΔTPCT. [CONCLUSIONS] Our results suggest that use of a medial heel wedge decreases hindfoot valgus values under both NL and FW conditions and stabilizes the total weight-bearing response of the navicular bone.
