Textured Insoles to Restore Sensorimotor Function in Patients With Plantar Fasciopathy
Sponsor: Jennifer Xu
Summary
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.
