“…Of the 125 patients included in the study, there was a predominance of males versus females (54.4% vs. 45.6%), with a mean age of 46.0 ± 19.2 years. The body mass index was 28.0 ± 6.2 kg/m 2 , with a median of 27 and a range of 13 Regarding the reason for consultation, the most frequent was hindfoot pain (58.2%) followed by forefoot pain (41.8%). Regarding the diagnosis, the most frequent was plantar fasciitis (29.7%), followed by metatarsalgia (18.6%).…”

To determine the effectiveness and satisfaction with orthopodologic treatments in users of the University Clinic of podiatry at the University of A Coruña, according to various parameters. After approval from the ethics committee of the University of A Coruña, an observational retrospective study (n = 125). We analyzed the effectiveness and satisfaction with the orthopodologic treatments depending on the reason for consultation, diagnosis, treatment and goals of treatment. We performed a descriptive analysis of all variables collected. The most frequent reason for consultation was for pain of the hindfoot (58.2%).The most frequent diagnosis was plantar fasciitis, followed by metatarsalgia (29.7% vs. 18.6%). The orthotic treatment corrective was the most used (68.5%) with pronation control (52.3%). The majority of patients reported improvement in pain, and a high degree of satisfaction with the treatment used. The profile of the patient who consults the Podiatry clinic for a orthopodologic treatment is that of a man over the age of 50, who consulted for pain of the hindfoot. The most frequent diagnosis is plantar fasciitis and the treatment carried out the corrective for pronation control. The majority of patients used the brace between 4 and 8 hours a day, with a high satisfaction with the treatment and improvement in the evolution of the pain. The degree of satisfaction was significantly associated with age, younger patients more satisfied. The improvement of pain was significantly associated with age, younger patients who show improvement.

“…For example, degeneration of the knee joint, which constitutes a pathological link in the kinematic chain, results in the development of similar changes in the hips, spine, and feet. Functional disorders linked to the structural and morphological changes within the lower limbs contribute to impaired joint mobility, pain syndromes, axial deformity of the joints, and, thereby, changes in the gait pattern coupled with its limited efficiency [ 18 ].…”

Evaluation of foot static disturbances in patients with rheumatic diseases

ObjectivesRheumatic diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis constitute the most frequent pathological states leading to the development of foot deformities, which reduce quality of life and cause disability. The aim of the present study was to compare the results of plantoconturographic examinations, obtained by means of a computer podoscope, in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis patients. Special attention was paid to the differences in the values of each parameter determining the level of foot function.Material and methodsThe study was performed in 94 female patients divided into two groups according to the type of disease. There were 54 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 40 with osteoarthritis. The control group consisted of 34 healthy women. The plantographic assessment of static foot structure was carried out by means of a device for computer-aided foot examination.ResultsA fallen transverse arch of the right foot was statistically much more frequent in the rheumatoid arthritis patients than in osteoarthritis patients or the control group (p < 0.005 and p < 0.05, respectively). Significant differences in the values of the Wejsflog index were observed in the case of left foot between rheumatoid arthritis patients and the control group (p < 0.05). Similarly, there were statistically significant differences in the values of the hallux valgus angle (α) for the right foot between rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis patients or control group (in both cases p < 0.05).ConclusionsRheumatic diseases predispose patients to disturbances of static foot function. The obtained results highlight the importance of diagnosing foot static disturbances in the prevention of destructive changes affecting the functioning of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis patients.

“…Each patient signed an agreement to participate in the study. The sample number of 80 was chosen because it was similar to related insole experiments [18–23]. Furthermore, our criteria ensured that errors would be minimized for relatively small sample sizes.…”

Background There are many shortcomings in traditional prefabricated rehabilitation insoles for symptomatic flatfoot patients. This study investigated the effects of customized 3-dimensional (3D) printed insoles on pressure and comfort of the plantar foot in symptomatic flatfoot patients. Material/Methods Eighty patients with bilateral flatfoot participated in this study. At week 0, patients were randomly assigned into 1 of 2 groups. In the control group, the patients wore standardize shoes with prefabricated insoles; and in the experimental group the patients wore standardize shoes and customized insoles. The Footscan ® system recorded peak pressure, peak force, and peak contact area in 10 areas of the sole at weeks 0 and at week 8. Patients used visual analogue scale scores at week 0 and at week 8 to assess overall comfort of insoles. Results At week 0, compared with the control group, the peak pressure in the metatarsal was significantly lower in the experimental group ( P <0.05) while the peak pressure in the mid-foot was significantly higher than the control group ( P <0.05). At week 8, in the experimental group, the peak pressures in the mid-foot were significantly higher than the control group ( P <0.05). The comfort scores (measured by pain scale) reported by the experimental group were significantly lower than those reported by the control group ( P <0.05). Conclusions Customized 3D printed insoles reduced the pressure on the metatarsals by distributed it over the mid-foot area, thus reduced the damage from symptomatic flatfoot. Customized 3D printed insoles were more effective than prefabricated insoles and offered better comfort for patients with symptomatic flatfoot.

Comparability of off the shelf foot orthoses in the redistribution of forces in midfoot osteoarthritis patients

Abstract: HighlightsBoth types of functional foot orthoses produce similar mechanical effects compared to the sham orthosis.The sham orthosis was comparable to the shoe only condition.Both functional foot orthoses and the sham orthoses are appropriate for use in future RCTs.
