Textured insoles for foot function in plantar fasciopathy
This trial tests whether textured shoe insoles can improve foot function and reduce pain in people with long-standing plantar fasciopathy (a common cause of heel pain). You may join if your condition has lasted at least 3 months and you can walk for 20 minutes, but you must be otherwise healthy without recent leg injuries or other balance issues.
