The Effect of Custom Made Foot Orthoses Fabricated With Medial Heel Skive Technique on Pain and Function in Individuals With Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
Authors
Abstract:
Objectives: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the significant causes of knee pain that results in reduced functional performance.Interventional foot orthotics may lead to improvement in symptoms. In this study, the effects of custom-made foot orthoses with medial heel skive technique on pain and functional performance after four weeks were evaluated. Methods: Fourteen subjects with PFPS were given custom-made foot orthoses. The pain and function parameters were evaluated with a visual analog scale (VAS) and Kujala Patellofemoral Score (KPS) before the treatment and at four weeks follow-up. Results: Significant improvements in pain was observed in participants with initial pain at four weeks (P<0.001). Also, an increased functional performance was seen in individuals with PFPS at four weeks (P<0.001). Discussion: In this study, the custom-made foot orthoses with medial heel skive technique was found to be an effective conservative treatment to reduce the pain and improve the functional performance of patients with PFPS.

Effects of Custom-Mold Insole by Medial Heel Skive Technique on Physical Function in Flexible Flat Foot
Background: Flexible Flat Foot (FFF), a common foot deformity decreasing medial longitudinal arch height is often comorbid with subtalar joint pronation causing physical activity difficulties in this population. Among the orthotic insoles prescribed for improving foot function, foot orthoses with medial heel skive technique have a limited research background. The present study aimed to investig...

OBJECTIVE Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) often results in reduced functional performance. There is growing evidence for the use of foot orthoses to treat this multifactorial condition. In this study, the immediate effects of foot orthoses on functional performance and the association of foot posture and footwear with improvements in function were evaluated. METHODS Fifty-two individuals ...

Background There is emerging evidence that foot orthoses are effective in the management of patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), however the identification of those most likely to benefit from orthoses has not been adequately explored. The primary aim of this study was to develop a clinical prediction rule to help identify individuals with PFPS who are most likely to benefit from foot orthoses....

Background Plantar heel pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions affecting the foot and it is commonly experienced by older adults. Contoured foot orthoses and some heel inserts have been found to be effective for plantar heel pain, however the mechanism by which they achieve their effects is largely unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of foot orthoses...
