Abstract

Background: Foot pain is a common presentation, and management is generally geared toward pressure offloading. Although several pressure offloading devices exist on the market, the search for the optimal device is ongoing.

Methods: We recently developed PopSole, an inexpensive, simple, balanced offloading insole focused on reducing targeted foot pain. We conducted a prospective validation study of patients with foot pain lasting longer than 6 months to assess the durability and efficacy of the device with follow-up scheduled at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 2 months, and 3 months. Patient-reported outcomes were collected using multiple validated surveys. Fifteen patients were enrolled in this study.

Results: At 4 weeks, pain, function, and quality of life across all surveys showed statistically significant improvement. For the 6 patients with long-term outcomes (3 months), patients reported improvement in their pain, function, and quality of life across all surveys, which were significant in the Mayo survey (P = .018), the Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index (P = .014), the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot scale (P = .032), the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure activities of daily living (P = .009), and the Pittsburgh foot survey (P = .01); the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure sports approached statistical significance (P = .058).

Conclusions: The PopSole is a durable and effective device to relieve foot pain, improve function, and improve quality of life for up to 3 months of use.

新型足部负重装置的验证和实用性:改善疼痛和功能
背景:足部疼痛是一种常见的症状,通常的治疗方法是减轻压力。虽然市场上有多种压力卸载装置,但人们仍在不断寻找最佳装置:我们最近开发了 PopSole,这是一种廉价、简单、平衡的卸压鞋垫,主要用于减轻目标足部疼痛。我们对足部疼痛持续时间超过 6 个月的患者进行了前瞻性验证研究,以评估该装置的耐用性和疗效,分别在 2 周、4 周、2 个月和 3 个月进行随访。患者报告的结果是通过多种验证调查收集的。本研究共招募了 15 名患者:4周时,所有调查的疼痛、功能和生活质量均有显著改善。在 6 名获得长期治疗结果(3 个月)的患者中,所有调查均显示其疼痛、功能和生活质量有所改善,其中梅奥调查(P = .018)、曼彻斯特足部疼痛和残疾指数(P = .在梅奥调查(P = .018)、曼彻斯特足部疼痛和残疾指数(P = .014)、美国骨科足踝协会踝-后足量表(P = .032)、足踝日常生活能力测量(P = .009)和匹兹堡足部调查(P = .01)中均有显著性差异;足踝运动能力测量接近统计学意义(P = .058):结论:PopSole 是一种耐用、有效的装置,可在长达 3 个月的使用期内缓解足部疼痛、改善功能和提高生活质量。
