Comparison of 3D Printed Foot Orthoses With Prefabricated Foot Orthoses

Saudi Arabia95 participantsStarted 2023-05-23

Plain-language summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of 3D printed insoles versus prefabricated insoles in otherwise healthy subjects with flatfoot condition. The main question it aims to answer is: * If 3D printed insoles are better in terms of fit, weight, durability, comfort, and effectiveness compared to prefabricated insoles. * If 3D printed insoles are better in terms of reducing pain compared to prefabricated insoles. Participants will be divided in two groups. One group will receive 3D printed insoles and other group will wear prefabricated insoles for four weeks. After four weeks, researchers will record their feedback about their insoles which will help them to compare the two insoles.
