Project #1 | Naboso Shoe Insole Study

Project #1

Purpose of the Naboso Shoe Insole Study:

To test the effectiveness of reducing foot pain, back pain and decreasing fatigue at the end of the day by just adding and wearing Naboso Insoles. To be in the study, participants were required to wear the insoles for a minimum of 4 hours of their normal workday. Most reported averaging 8-10 hours on their feet, and many are wearing the insoles their entire workday.

About Naboso:

The world’s first and only textured, sensory product line that optimizes the way people move, feel & live. Naboso's mission and vision is for everyone to experience the enhanced confidence—and quality of life—that comes from optimizing movement. For people who want to improve the way they move, feel, and live, Naboso provides the first-ever small nerve proprioceptive insoles and mats designed to stimulate the nervous system and enhance movement.

In the initial recruiting survey, we initially had 46 volunteers respond. Here is what we discovered through that data collection.

"The excitement about this study is if we can affect the hairdressers quality of day, while reducing possible pain patterns by just wearing the insoles in their shoes everyday, it will be an easy add on for the Hairdressers and Support staff to do."

*Current Pilot study with Paris Parker Salon staff underway. Results released soon.

Recent Pilot Study Results, in a different study with Naboso and 3M workers:

Naboso Technologies created neural insoles that stimulate the proprioceptive nerve endings in the feet, and have a direct affect on foot pain, back pain and fatigue at the end of the day. In their studies with other workers that stand on their feet for 8-10 hours (on even cement floors), improvements of 70-80% in these areas were noted by 4-6 weeks.

*Other modalities will be offered soon.
