ALL
Age
18 Years - 55 Years

Interventions

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

Study Details

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.

Arms

  • Experimental: 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.
  • Sham Comparator: 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.

Primary Outcome Measure

Change in Postural Control [ Time Frame: Baseline and immediately following completion of each intervention condition during the study visit ]
