Comparing foot orthoses for progressive collapsing foot deformity
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares three different types of foot orthoses (custom shoe inserts) to see which works best for adults with progressive collapsing foot deformity (a condition where the arch of the foot falls). You would wear the orthoses daily and we would track your pain and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
