Text of Note

Objective: Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common foot disorders that cause pain in the foot and limitation in function. Foot orthoses are widely prescribed to treatment symptoms of patients.The purpose of this investigation was Comparison of the effect of custom made insole and prefabricated insole with shock absorb canal on pain and function in subject with plantar fasciitis. Material and method: This study was quasi-experimental. 14 patients with plantar fasciitis were selected from the available samples with simple non-probability method and randomly assigned to two groups of 7. A group received custom insole and the other group received a prefabricated insole. The pain rate was measured by VAS (Visual Analog Scale). Patients in both groups used insoles for 6 weeks. Patients' pain was recorded at first, if patients were satisfied to participate in the study. After 6 weeks, the pain was recorded for the second time. Patients were asked to complete the FAAM questionnaire before and 6 weeks after using the insoles. The normal distribution of data was calculated with Shapirovilek test. For the final analysis, Wilcoxon test was used to evaluate the effect of each orthosis and the Mann-Whitney test to compare the mean of the two groups. Results: After 6 weeks in both groups, custom made insole and prefabricate insole group showed a statistically significant difference between pain intensity and subscales of FAAM questionnaire (P <0.05). Comparing pain intensity and performance between two groups of custom-made and prefabricate insoles showed that there was no statistically significant difference in pain intensity and function between the two groups after using the insoles (P >0.05). Conclusion: There was no significant difference between the custom made insole and the prefabricated insole in reducing pain and improving function of patients with plantar fasciitis, and both types of insoles reduced pain and improved function, but prefabricated insoles were more acceptable.
