    Custom-Made Foot Orthotics for People With Lower Limb Conditions

    Key Messages
    • There were no statistically significant differences between custom-made foot orthotics and prefabricated foot orthotics for plantar heal pain in adults.
    • There is limited evidence for short-term pain relief and improved quality of life with custommade orthotics compared to placebo or no intervention in adults with plantar fasciitis.
    • Custom-made foot orthotics are less cost-effective than other interventions (placebo, prefabricated orthotics, usual care) in the short and medium term.
    • Two evidence-based guidelines recommended the use of custom-made foot orthotics in patients with diabetes for prevention and treatment of foot ulceration

    This research makes no sense to me. Constructing any type of orthotic without first determining the aetiology of the presenting symptoms, is illogical, and what I consider a misfeasance.

    For example, fabricating an orthotic with an arch support, and/or forefoot posting (1-5) and/or calcaneal wedge will fail and may actually make the symptoms worse, if you are dealing with either RFS or PCFD.
