“…The authors concluded that foot orthoses decrease pain and improve function in the short, medium and longer term (<6 weeks, 6 to 12 weeks and >12 weeks, respectively). The finding that foot orthoses are effective at all three time points is inconsistent with the finding of the review by Hawke and colleagues,22 and differs to the results obtained in this review. However, Lee and coworkers23 pooled each study’s orthosis group data for the respective time point and then compared the percentage improvement between the three time points.…”

“…The first meta-analysis by Hawke and colleagues22 reviewed the effectiveness of customised foot orthoses on all types of foot pain and included five randomised or controlled clinical trials that investigated PHP. The authors concluded that there was insufficient evidence that customised foot orthoses reduce pain compared with sham or non-customised foot orthoses at 12 weeks, or reduce pain at 6 to 8 weeks when used with a stretching programme or night splints.…”

“…Two of these conducted meta-analyses,22 23 however they reported inconsistent findings and their database searches are now at least eight years old. One meta-analysis22 concluded that there was insufficient evidence that customised foot orthoses reduce pain compared with sham or non-customised foot orthoses in the medium term (at 12 weeks). In contrast, the other meta-analysis23 concluded that foot orthoses decrease pain and improve function in the short, medium and longer term (<6 weeks, 6 to 12 weeks, and >12 weeks, respectively).…”

“…Custom made functional foot orthoses needed to be a pair of in-shoe devices that were moulded or milled from impressions of the feet, whether by plaster cast or 3D laser scan. The fabrication then needed to be carried out according to practitioner-prescribed specifications 28. The CSI treatment had to involve an injection of a corticosteroid solution into the area of the plantar fascia.…”

Background:Plantar fasciitis is a common condition routinely managed by podiatrists in the community and is widely treated conservatively. Two commonly used treatments for plantar fasciitis are customized functional foot orthoses and corticosteroid injections. While common to clinical practice, the evidence base underpinning these treatment strategies is unknown. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review was to assess the effectiveness and safety of customized functional foot orthoses and corticosteroid injections in the treatment of plantar fasciitis.Methods:A systematic literature search was conducted. Experimental studies, in English, from 1998 to 2010 were accepted for inclusion in this review. The PEDro quality assessment tool and the National Health and Medical Research Council’s hierarchy of evidence were used to assess the quality of the included studies.Results:Six randomized controlled trials which met the selection criteria were included in this review. Four reported on customized functional foot orthoses and 2 on corticosteroid injections. Current best available evidence highlights that both customized functional foot orthoses and corticosteroid injections can lead to a decrease in pain associated with plantar fasciitis. Additionally, customized functional foot orthoses may also provide an additional benefit in terms of increased functional ability in patients with plantar fasciitis. Corticosteroid injections may have side effects, especially pain (from the injection).Conclusion:Both customized functional foot orthoses and corticosteroid injections can lead to reduction in pain associated with plantar fasciitis. While customized functional foot orthoses may increase the functional outcomes in patients with plantar fasciitis, corticosteroid injections may have side effects (especially pain as a result of the injection), which may limit its acceptability.

“…The orthoses will be covered in a 2 mm blown multi-density EVA cover (Multiform) which is anticipated to provide shock absorption. There is currently no literature on the effectiveness of any custom, semi-custom or prefabricated orthotic device in the treatment of posterior heel pain associated with calcaneal apophysitis [35]. …”

BackgroundPosterior Heel pain can present in children of 8 to 14 years, associated with or clinically diagnosed as Sever's disease, or calcaneal apophysitis. Presently, there are no comparative randomised studies evaluating treatment options for posterior heel pain in children with the clinical diagnosis of calcaneal apophysitis or Sever's disease. This study seeks to compare the clinical efficacy of some currently employed treatment options for the relief of disability and pain associated with posterior heel pain in children.MethodDesign: Factorial 2 × 2 randomised controlled trial with monthly follow-up for 3 months.Participants: Children with clinically diagnosed posterior heel pain possibly associated with calcaneal apophysitis/Sever's disease (n = 124).Interventions: Treatment factor 1 will be two types of shoe orthoses: a heel raise or prefabricated orthoses. Both of these interventions are widely available, mutually exclusive treatment approaches that are relatively low in cost. Treatment factor 2 will be a footwear prescription/replacement intervention involving a shoe with a firm heel counter, dual density EVA midsole and rear foot control. The alternate condition in this factor is no footwear prescription/replacement, with the participant wearing their current footwear.Outcomes: Oxford Foot and Ankle Questionnaire and the Faces pain scale.DiscussionThis will be a randomised trial to compare the efficacy of various treatment options for posterior heel pain in children that may be associated with calcaneal apophysitis also known as Sever's disease.Trial RegistrationTrial Number: ACTRN12609000696291Ethics Approval Southern Health: HREC Ref: 09271B
