Baldassin V, Gomes CR, Beraldo PS. Effectiveness of prefabricated and customized foot orthoses made from low-cost foam for noncomplicated plantar fasciitis: a randomized controlled trial. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2009;90: 701-6.Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of prefabricated and customized foot orthoses made from low-cost foam (ethylene vinyl acetate [EVA]) in plantar fasciitis.Design: Double-blinded randomized controlled trial.Setting: Public rehabilitation referral medical center.Participants: One hundred forty-two adults (75% women) with plantar fasciitis. without anatomical alterations in the feet. Seventeen Subjects (12%) were lost during the follow-up.Interventions: Prefabricated and customized foot orthoses, both made from EVA, used for 8 weeks.Main Outcome Measures: The primary Outcome was pain (modified subscale of the Foot Function Index, [FFI] pain). The secondary Outcomes were pain elicited by palpation in the medial calcaneal tuberosity and modified FFI total. Each participant was reviewed in the 4th and 8th weeks of follow-up.Results: One hundred twenty-five participants returned to at least 1 of the follow-up evaluations (63 in the prefabricated and 62 in the customized groups). There was a significant improvement in both groups (P
