The Utilization of a Shoe Insert on Individuals With Unilateral Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome on Single Leg Stance, Biomechanics, and Pain Intensity
Sponsor: Mayo Clinic
Summary
We hypothesize that the addition of a unilateral neutral shoe insert combined with standard physical therapy (PT+SI) will have greater improvements in pain and function at 12 weeks and 6 months compared to physical therapy with sham inserts (PT+Sham) and physical therapy (PT) alone. In addition, we hypothesize that the addition of a neutral shoe insert in the involved limb will immediately improve biomechanics and pain with the single-leg stance test.

Conditions
Interventions
Unilateral neutral shoe insert
In the treatment group, subjects will undergo the addition of a neutral shoe insert to the involved lower extremity according to manufacturer guidelines at the initial visit. These subjects will also undergo a once-weekly 12-week course of physical therapy according to the established standardized protocol.
Bilateral Shoe Insert
For subjects placed in the sham group, subjects will undergo the addition of a neutral shoe insert to both lower extremities according to manufacturer guidelines at the initial visit. These subjects will also undergo a once-weekly 12-week course of physical therapy according to the established standardized protocol with guidelines .
Physical Therapy
For subjects placed in the control group, subjects will undergo a once-weekly 12-week course of physical therapy according to the established standardized protocol.
