| Core Tip |
Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a common cause of heel pain and affects 10% of the population. Prefabricated orthotics provides relief of symptoms by supporting the arch but can only be used with shoes. Using both prefabricated orthotics and orthotic sandals can extend the period of support. This study finds that the combined use of Aetrex L420 orthotics and Aetrex L3000 orthotic sandals and the sole use of Aetrex L420 orthotics provide statistically significant decreases in foot pain and improved foot function in PF. The effect was greater when both the orthotic and orthotic sandals were used in combination. |
