“…Three RCTs investigated walking speed (19,22,23). The meta-analysis showed a minimal effect for custom orthoses increasing walking speed and the result was not significant (effect size 0.09; 95% CI Ϫ0.27, 0.45) ( Figure 2C).…”

Objective. To identify and critically appraise the evidence for the effectiveness of custom orthoses for the foot and ankle in rheumatoid arthritis. Methods. Studies were identified in appropriate electronic databases (from 1950 to March 2011). The search term "rheumatoid arthritis" with "foot" and "ankle" and related terms were used in conjunction with "orthoses" and synonyms. Included studies were quantitative longitudinal studies and included randomized controlled trials (RCTs), case-control trials, cohort studies, and case series studies. All outcome measures were investigated. Quality assessment was conducted using the Cochrane Collaboration criteria with additional criteria for sample population representativeness, quality of statistical analysis, and compliant intervention use and presence of cointerventions. Meta-analyses were conducted for outcome domains with multiple RCTs. Qualitative data synthesis was conducted for the remaining outcome domains. Levels of evidence were then assigned to each outcome measure. Results. The inclusion criteria were met by 17 studies. Two studies had high quality for internal validity and 3 studies had high quality for external validity. No study had high quality for both internal and external validity. Six outcome domains were identified. There was weak evidence for custom orthoses reducing pain and forefoot plantar pressures. Evidence was inconclusive for foot function, walking speed, gait parameters, and reducing hallux abductovalgus angle progression. Conclusion. Custom orthoses may be beneficial in reducing pain and elevated forefoot plantar pressures in the rheumatoid foot and ankle. However, more definitive research is needed in this area.

“…Non-pharmacological interventions for RA that include foot orthoses and footwear can reduce pain and disability and improve long-term outcomes with existing and potential foot problems [8]. Previous studies have reported on the clinical effectiveness of foot orthoses in people with established RA, ranging from simple insoles to customised foot orthoses [9][10][11][12]. Clark [13] reported that few studies have undertaken a cost effectiveness analysis to investigate the cost implication of the prescription of foot orthoses for people with established RA, despite the high prevalence of foot involvement and the high direct cost of RA related health care to the UK economy.…”
