Non-specific Pain in Lower Extremities Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of Shoe Insoles on Pain and Daily Activities and the Relation Between Satisfaction With Insoles and Use: A pre-and Post-intervention Survey
The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of insoles on pain, daily activities and physical activity level, and to investigate the relation between satisfaction with the insoles and their actual use in individuals with LE pain.
Pain in weight-bearing joints limits individual's function and ability to perform daily
activities, causes a negative effect on productivity and increased costs for social
insurance. This pain is often the outcome of structural deformities or work-related foot pain
often occurs in workers whose occupations include standing or walking for a long time.
One of the most common reasons for prescribing insoles is to enhance functioning by reducing
nonspecific pain in the foot, leg or low back pain. Reduction of pain is expected to improve
quality of life in daily activities such as work and recreational activities.
Persons actual use of the insoles, is a prerequisite for any effect it may have. It can be
hypothesized that the use of the insoles is related to what the user thinks about their
comfort, appearance, the amount of foot perspiration they induce, and other factors.
