Textured Insoles to Restore Sensorimotor Function in Patients With Plantar Fasciopathy (TIRE)
12. august 2026 oppdatert av: Jennifer Xu
This study will evaluate the immediate effects of wearing textured insoles on gait, postural control, and sensorimotor function in adults with plantar fasciopathy.
Researchers will compare functional performance while participants wear textured insoles to determine whether this intervention may improve stability, movement and future studies of longer-term treatment.

Detaljert beskrivelse
Plantar fasciopathy is a common condition that causes heel pain and is associated with impaired sensorimotor function, altered gait, reduced balance and decreased physical function.
Current treatments primarily target symptom relief and do not directly address sensorimotor impairments.
Textured insoles provide sensory stimulation to the plantar surface of the foot and may improve balance, gait mechanics and functional performance by enhancing plantar cutaneous input.
This study will investigate the acute effects of textured insoles on gait, postural control and sensorimotor function in adults with plantar fasciopathy.
Results will provide preliminary evidence regarding the feasibility and potential effectiveness of textured insoles as a treatment strategy and inform future studies evaluating longer-term outcomes.

Intervensjon / Behandling |
|---|---|
|
Eksperimentell: Textured Insole
Participants will wear textured insoles while completing gait, postural control, and sensorimotor function assessments to evaluate the acute effects of the intervention on plantar fasciopathy.
|
A textured shoe insole designed to provide plantar sensory stimulation by increasing cutaneous input to the foot during standing and walking.
A smooth shoe insole without surface texture used as a control device for comparison with the textured insole.
|
|
Sham-komparator: Smooth Insole
Participants will wear a smooth (non-textured) insole while completing the same assessments to serve as the comparison condition in the crossover study.

A textured shoe insole designed to provide plantar sensory stimulation by increasing cutaneous input to the foot during standing and walking.
A smooth shoe insole without surface texture used as a control device for comparison with the textured insole.

Change in Postural Control
Tidsramme: Baseline and immediately following completion of each intervention condition during the study visit
|
Postural control will be assessed while participants complete standardized balance testing under each study condition.
Performance will be compared between the textured insole and smooth insole conditions to evaluate the acute effects of textured insoles on postural control.

Change in Gait Characteristics
Tidsramme: Baseline and immediately following completion of each intervention condition during the study visit.
|
Gait characteristics will be assessed during walking trials under each study condition and compared between the textured and smooth insole conditions.
|
Baseline and immediately following completion of each intervention condition during the study visit.

|
Change in Plantar Sensation
Tidsramme: Baseline and immediately following completion of each intervention condition during the study visit.
|
Plantar sensation will be assessed with the Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments.
The detection threshold will be the lightest weight monofilament (grams of force (gf)) that can be perceived by the participant.
Lower values indicate better plantar sensation.
|
Baseline and immediately following completion of each intervention condition during the study visit.

Change in Pressure-Pain Threshold
Tidsramme: Baseline and immediately following completion of each intervention condition during the study visit.
|
Pressure-pain threshold will be assessed with an algometer.
The pressure-pain threshold will be measured in kg/cm2.
Higher values indicate better pressure-pain threshold.
