Combining two stimulation strategies might produce better results by boosting the sensorimotor signals in older adults. Therefore, the aim of this study was twofold: first, to investigate the effects of the combined use of compression stockings and textured insoles on plantar touch sensitivity, balance, and mobility and to compare these results with each intervention applied separately and with a control intervention; second, to examine whether there was an improvement in plantar touch sensitivity compared with baseline.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This study assessed plantar tactile sensitivity, balance, and mobility in 24 community-dwelling older adults (mean age, 72.4 ± 6.3 years) under four interventions: 1) compression socks with textured insoles, 2) compression socks with smooth insoles, 3) smooth socks with textured insoles, and 4) smooth socks with smooth insoles (control), all in the standard shoe.

Therefore, it is important to understand the Muslim patients' emphasis on modesty to ensure comfort during the patient encounter. The provider should understand the permissibility of animal-derived products, especially as it relates to lower-extremity wound care and surgical products. Specific rituals that are pillars of Islam, such as prayer, fasting in Ramadan, and Hajj pilgrimage, all have direct relationships with foot health that providers should be cognizant of. Ritual purification or ablution before prayer is associated with fungal infections, and specific prayer positions may aggravate foot pain. Providers must understand that it is not enough to only treat fungal infections that affect Muslim patients, but they also need to understand the unique circumstances of Muslim worshipers that increase their risk of fungal infections and recurrence. Consequently, educational and preventative measures for managing tinea pedis in the Muslim population are critical. Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset during the month of Ramadan and pray during the night for an extended time, which has potential effects on the lower extremity. Hajj is the major pilgrimage that Muslims are required to complete once in a lifetime, and there are smaller, optional, pilgrimages that Muslims perform as well. There is a high risk of foot, ankle, and leg complications during these pilgrimages, and therefore it is paramount that providers understand the risk factors for lower-extremity complications during Hajj. Although Muslim patients participate in many rituals that have the potential to affect their foot health and overall well-being, the provider should understand that concessions exist for all situations, and the well-being of the patient supersedes any ritualistic obligation.</p>","PeriodicalId":17241,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association","volume":"115 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144958844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
