Background: Pain and fatigue are major clinical manifestations in patients with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). The aim of this study is to measure change of the effects of custom-made foot orthotics on some manifestations related to EDS, such as foot pain, foot functionality, fatigue, and quality of life. Methods: Thirty-six patients with EDS wore foot orthoses for three months. Foot pain, foot-related disability, foot functionality, fatigue, and quality of life were measured using the 11-point Numeric Rating Scale, the Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index, the Foot Function Index, the Fatigue Severity Score, and the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey questionnaires, respectively, at the beginning and after 3 months. Results: Participants demonstrated significantly improved foot pain (p = 0.002), disability related to foot pain (p < 0.001), foot functionality (p = 0.001), fatigue (p < 0.007), and mental health-related quality of life (p = 0.016). The physical health-related quality of life did not show significant changes. Conclusions: The use of custom-made foot orthoses help in the management of the symptoms by participants. This study could contribute to the foot specialists being considered as an additional member in multidisciplinary teams that are trying to develop an approach for patients with EDS.

Objective: To determine the effect of custom-made foot orthoses versus placebo insoles on pain, disability, foot functionality, and quality of life. Design: Double-blinded randomized controlled trial. Setting: University Podiatric Clinical Area. Subjects: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Interventions: Patients were randomly assigned to either group A, which received custom-made foot orthoses, or group B, which received placebo, flat cushioning insoles, for three months. Main measures: The primary outcome was foot pain, measured by visual analog scale. Foot functionality, foot-related disability, and quality of life were measured using the Foot Function Index, the Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index, and 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) questionnaires, respectively, at the beginning and at days 30, 60, and 90. Results: A total of 53 patients, aged 59.21 ± 11.38 years, received either the custom-made foot orthoses ( N = 28) or the placebo ( N = 25). For the analysis of the data, only participants who had been measured at the four time points (0, 30, 60, and 90 days) were included. In group A, all variables showed statistically significant differences when comparing the initial and final measurements. Pain showed 6.61 ± 2.33 and 4.11 ± 2.66 in group A, at baseline and at 90 days, respectively, and Group B showed 6.16 ± 1.77 and 5.60 ± 2.71 at baseline and at 90 days, respectively. This was the only variable that showed statistically significant difference between groups ( P = 0.048). Conclusion: The custom-made foot orthoses significantly reduced the participants’ foot pain, although they did not have positive effects on disability, foot functionality, and quality of life compared with only cushioning.

Abstract Introduction: Foot involvement is a major concern in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) as it can lead to severe levels of foot pain and disability as well as reduced mobility and quality of life. Previous studies have shown moderate efficacy in reducing foot pain and disability in rheumatoid arthritis patients with the use of custom-made foot orthoses (CFO). However, evidence on the efficacy of CFO in PsA patients is lacking.Objectives: Explore the effects of CFO on foot function, foot and lower limb pain, gait function, and freeliving walking activities (FWA) in PsA patients.Methods: A Pre-experimental study including 20 PsA patients (mean age: 54.10 ± 9.06 y and disease duration: 11.53 ± 10.22 y), was conducted. All the participants received and wore CFO for a 7-week period. Foot and lower limb pain and foot function were measured before and after the intervention using the numerical rating scale (NRS) and the foot function index (FFI). Gait function was assessed from gait spatiotemporal parameters (STPs) extracted during a 10-meter walk test with an gait analysis system (Mobility Lab). Freeliving walking activities (step count, freeliving cadence, time spent in different ambulatory physical activities (APA)) were recorded over 7 days using accelerometer data collected from an instrumented sock worn during waking hours.Results: PsA patients reported severe baseline levels of foot pain (54.46 ± 14.58 %) and disability (46.65 ± 16.14%) on the FFI. Statistically and clinically significant improvements with large effect sizes (Cohen’s effect size > 1, p<0.005) in foot pain and foot function were observed after 7 weeks of CFO use. A significant correlation (r=-0.64, p<0.01) between CFO wear time after the adaption period and foot function on the FFI at 7 weeks was observed. However, no significant changes were demonstrated for gait STP nor for free-living walking activities after 7 weeks of CFO use.Conclusion: Results support the clinical and biomechanical plausibility of using CFO with PsA patients to reduce pain and improve foot function. Larger and controlled studies are needed to confirm these findings and a multidisciplinary approach including the prescription of exercise therapy and physiotherapy in combination with CFO could be relevant to improve STP and promote APA in PsA patients.Study registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05075343, Retrospectively registered on 29 September 2021.

Background: Foot orthoses have been applied for the management of lower limb disorders, mainly for those who develop foot pain. The Central Stabilizer Element (CSE) is a new element that contains the midfoot laterally when a plantar insole is manufactured. Objectives: To determine the effect on foot pain of adding the Central Stabilizer Element during the manufacturing process of foot orthosis, and to describe the proportions of Central Stabilizer Element in terms of width and length of this element. Study design: A clinical study. Methods: A sample comprising 130 patients (57 males and 73 females) with foot pain was recruited for this study, with the patients having supinated, neutral, pronated and overpronated feet. All the patients received a custom-made foot orthosis with the Central Stabilizer Element. The Central Stabilizer Element was made of resins of polyvinyl chloride, and is a device insert in foot orthosis that contains the midfoot laterally to control pronation and supination movements. Perceived patient’s foot pain was collected using a Visual Analog Scale at baseline, 15, 60 and 90 days after treatment. Results: A statistically significant decrease was found after foot orthosis application at all times in all foot types. There was a statistically significant correlation between all the ratio proportions according to foot posture (Foot Posture Index scores), except for heel length proportion. Conclusions: The Central Stabilizer Element, applied at midfoot level of a custom-made foot orthoses through a directly mould technique, can reduce foot pain, when a previous foot posture status is considered. Clinical relevance The Central Stabilizer Element can be of interest for those professionals who are involved in the manufacturing process of foot orthosis, throughout the control of an excesive pronated or a supinated foot condition that is provoking foot pain.

IntroductionSystemic lupus erythaematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease of heterogeneous involvement. The disease may affect feet with a high prevalence of symptoms such as, for example, pain, forefoot and rearfoot deformities, and biomechanics dysfunctions. Custom-made foot orthoses (CMFO) have been previously reported to be effective in patients with other rheumatic diseases. However, as far as the authors know, there exist no studies about their effectiveness in SLE. This study aims at determining the effect of CMFO versus placebo flat cushioning insoles on pain, foot functionality, fatigue and quality of life in patients with SLE.Methods and analysisA randomised controlled trial would compare the effects of (1) CMFO and group B, which received a placebo, flat cushioning insoles, for 3 months. The main outcome measures are foot pain, foot functionality and foot-related disability. The secondary outcome measures are fatigue and quality of life.Ethics and disseminationThe study has been approved by the Portal de Ética de la Investigación Biomédica de Andalucía ethical committee 1494-N-19. The results will be disseminated regardless of the magnitude or direction of effect.Trial registartion numberClinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT04098055.

Excessive foot pronation has been reported as being related to chronic low back pain symptoms and risk factors in sports-specific pathologies. Compensating custom-made foot orthotics treatment has not been entirely explored as an effective therapy for chronic low back pain (CLBP). This study aims to observe the effects of custom-made foot orthoses, in subjects with foot pronation suffering from CLBP. A total of 101 patients with nonspecific CLBP and a pronated foot posture index (FPI) were studied. They were randomized in two groups: an experimental one (n = 53) used custom-made foot orthotics, and the control group (n = 48) were treated with non-biomechanical effect orthoses. The CLBP was measured using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) Questionnaire and a visual analogue scale (VAS), both for lower back pain. The symptoms were evaluated twice, at first when the subject was included in the study, and later, after 4 weeks of treatment. The analysis of outcomes showed a significant decrease in CLBP in the custom-made foot orthoses participants group (p < 0.001 ODI; p < 0.001 VAS). These findings suggest that controlling excessive foot pronation by using custom-made foot orthoses may significantly contribute to improving CLBP.
