Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to determine and compare the effects of using textured insoles and plantar massage on balance in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis will be divided into two groups. In the first group the patients will be given plantar massage; in the second group, both plantar massage will be applied and the patients will use textured insoles in their indoor and outdoor activities. Plantar massage will be applied by the physiotherapist 3 days a week for 6 weeks; textured insoles will also be used for 6 weeks. All patients will be asked to complete the questionnaires, which assessed foot functionality, physical activity levels and quality of life. After each patients completed the questionnaire, the physiotherapist will perform plantar sensory and balance assessment. All assessments will be made before, after and 8 weeks after treatment.


Clinical Trial Description

In the solution of balance problems in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), successful results can be obtained with the correct sensory inputs from the sole of the foot. Even after 5 minutes of application with plantar massage, which is one of these methods, it has been observed that there is an improvement in balance reactions. Textured insoles are also one of the methods used to improve balance with the right sensory input. Both methods increase cutaneous receptor activity and ankle proprioception by providing increased afferent information; As a result of these effects, postural sway decreases, balance can be achieved on a narrower support surface, and postural control increases. Although the positive effects of plantar massage and textured insoles on balance are known, there are no studies in which these methods are used in RA patients. In our study, we aimed to determine and compare the effects of plantar massage, which provides short-term afferent input, and the use of textured insoles, which provide long-term afferent input, on balance in RA patients. For these purposes, plantar massage will be applied to one group, and plantar massage will be applied to the other group and textured insoles will be used. In this way, the effects on the balance will be observed and compared. ;
