Summary

This research is being conducted to determine whether use of an arch-supporting insole during pregnancy prevents alterations in foot structure and lower limb rotational movements. The investigators hypothesize that the arch collapse during pregnancy will be significantly reduced in women randomized to use the supportive insole compared with women randomized to the control group.
