“…These results will be employed to compare with laboratory-made insoles where the effects of the PCM, epoxy resin, and thickener on the samples will be evaluated. Hardness results were consistent with other results found in the literature [ 25 , 26 ] so manufactured insoles could be employed for further analyses.…”

Thermal comfort is essential when wearing a postural-corrective garment. Discomfort of any kind may deter regular use and prolong user recovery time. The objective of this work is therefore to optimize a new compound that can alter the temperature of orthopedic insoles, thereby improving the thermal comfort for the user. Its novelty is a resin composite that contains a thermoregulatory Phase-Change Material (PCM). An experimental design was used to optimize the proportions of PCM, epoxy resin, and thickener in the composite and its effects. A Box–Behnken factor design was applied to each compound to establish the optimal proportions of all three substances. The dependent variables were the Shore A and D hardness tests and thermogravimetric heat-exchange measurements. As was foreseeable, the influence of the PCM on the thermal absorption levels of the compound was quantifiable and could be determined from the results of the factor design. Likewise, compound hardness was determined by resin type and resin-PCM interactions, so the quantity of PCM also had some influence on the mechanical properties of the composite. Both the durability and the flexibility of the final product complied with current standards for orthopedic insoles.

“…ABAQUS was then used for contact pressure analysis, revealing a 25% reduction in maximum plantar pressure compared to the flat insole. Studies indicate that total contact insoles offer more benefits to diabetic foot than flat insoles ( Ahmed et al, 2020 ; Shim et al, 2021 ). El-Hilaly et al (2013) found the efficacy of total contact insoles in offloading foot pressures in diabetic patients following partial first-ray amputations, leading to significant pressure reduction compared to flat insoles during standing and walking.…”

The escalating prevalence of diabetes has accentuated the significance of addressing the associated diabetic foot problem as a major public health concern. Effectively offloading plantar pressure stands out as a crucial factor in preventing diabetic foot complications. This review comprehensively examines the design, manufacturing, and evaluation strategies employed in the development of diabetic foot insoles. Furthermore, it offers innovative insights and guidance for enhancing their performance and facilitating clinical applications. Insoles designed with total contact customization, utilizing softer and highly absorbent materials, as well as incorporating elliptical porous structures or triply periodic minimal surface structures, prove to be more adept at preventing diabetic foot complications. Fused Deposition Modeling is commonly employed for manufacturing; however, due to limitations in printing complex structures, Selective Laser Sintering is recommended for intricate insole designs. Preceding clinical implementation, in silico and in vitro testing methodologies play a crucial role in thoroughly evaluating the pressure-offloading efficacy of these insoles. Future research directions include advancing inverse design through machine learning, exploring topology optimization for lightweight solutions, integrating flexible sensor configurations, and innovating new skin-like materials tailored for diabetic foot insoles. These endeavors aim to further propel the development and effectiveness of diabetic foot management strategies. Future research avenues should explore inverse design methodologies based on machine learning, topology optimization for lightweight structures, the integration of flexible sensors, and the development of novel skin-like materials specifically tailored for diabetic foot insoles. Advancements in these areas hold promise for further enhancing the effectiveness and applicability of diabetic foot prevention measures.

Objective To determine the effects of different therapeutic interventions that have ever been evaluated in randomized controlled trials on pain due to plantar fasciitis. Methods We searched different electronic databases until September 2022. Mean differences (MDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation was used to evaluate the overall certainty evidence. Results A total of 236 studies met the study criteria, including 15,401 patients. Botulinum toxin MD −2.14 (CI: −4.15, −0.14), micronized dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane injection MD −3.31 (CI: −5.54, −1.08), dry needling MD −2.34 (CI: −4.64, −0.04), low-dye taping MD −3.60 (CI: −4.16, −3.03), low-level laser therapy MD −2.09 (CI: −2.28, −1.90), myofascial releases MD −1.79 (CI: −2.63, −0.94), platelet-rich plasma MD −2.40 (CI: −4.16, −0.63), radiofrequency MD −2.47 (CI: −4.65, −0.29), and stretching MD −1.14 (CI: −2.02, −0.26) resulted in being effective treatments for pain when compared to the control in the short term. In the medium and long term, only extracorporeal shock wave therapy MD −0.97 (CI: −1.13, −0.81)/MD −2.49 (CI: −3.17, −1.82) was effective for improving pain when compared to the control. Conclusions Considering the available studies, this systematic review and meta-analysis showed that different therapeutic interventions seem to be useful strategies for improving pain in patients with plantar fasciitis. In the medium and long term, only extracorporeal shock wave therapy was effective in improving pain when compared to the control.
