Objective of the study was to develop and test benefits of individual orthotic insoles applying walking endurance building model for senior people with musculoskeletal disorders.
Methods and structure of the study. We sampled for the study the 60+ year-olds (n=35) with musculoskeletal disorders including foot deformities. Based on prior computerized podometric tests, every subject was offered individual orthotic insoles for a monthly endurance-building walking therapeutic model. The group was trained on a self-reliant daily basis with progress self-test data fixed in the individual logbooks. The individual progresses in the model testing 30-day experiment were rated by the pre- versus post-experimental questionnaire surveys and interviews under the Healthy Foot and Active Longevity Project sponsored by the Presidential Grant Foundation. We used the following study methods: theoretical and practical literature analysis; questionnaire surveys, interviews; clinical examinations; computerized podometry, progress tests, and a standard mathematical statistics toolkit.
Results and discussion. The individual orthotic insoles applying walking endurance-building model for senior people with musculoskeletal disorders was tested beneficial as verified by the meaningful progress of the sample in the model testing experiment on the pain tolerance and endurance test scales.

Keywords: musculoskeletal disorders, endurance, seniors, walking therapy, individual orthotic insoles, physical training, pains, foot deformities.
