The effects of shoes and insoles for low back pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials | Semantic Scholar (2024)

Spatiotemporal, kinematic, kinetic and balance variables are affected by wearing HHS, and the effect of specific heel heights on women’s biomechanics would benefit from further research.

Results support the clinical and biomechanical plausibility of using CFO with PsA patients to reduce pain and improve foot function and a multidisciplinary approach including the prescription of exercise therapy and physiotherapy in combination with CFO could be relevant to improve STP and promote APA in PsA Patients.

Results support the clinical and biomechanical plausibility of using CFO in people with PsA to reduce pain and improve foot function and a multidisciplinary approach including the prescription of exercise therapy and physiotherapy combined with CFO could be required to improve STP and promote APA.

This theoretical perspective will evolve over time as BACPAC investigators link empirical results to theory, challenge current ideas of the biopsychosocial model, and use a systems approach to develop tools and algorithms that disentangle the dynamic interactions among cLBP factors.

This perspective manuscript focuses on the availability and efficacy of clothing designed to prevent pain in the general population as well as reduce or treat pain in pain patients.

The meta-analysis results showed that there was a tendency toward a reduction in the Roland–Morris disability questionnaire score and pain score in patients wearing unstable shoes compared to those wearing flat shoes, but the conclusion was limited by the current low-quality studies.

There is insufficient evidence to support the use of insoles or foot orthoses as either a treatment for LBP or in the prevention of LBP, and the small number, moderate methodological quality and the high heterogeneity of the available trials reduce the strength of current findings.

This study shows that the use of unstable shoes contributes to improvements in disability, which is likely related to increased trunk muscle activity and lumbar spine ROM.

Wearing unstable shoes reduced low back pain and disability in nurses and might be helpful as part of the back pain rehabilitation process.

It is demonstrated that the low back pain decreased significantly after the use of real insoles compared to placebo ones, and other variables such as gender, age, number of offspring, work seniority, smoking, previous use of insoles and previous medication were not found.

The results indicate that unstable sandals can be used to reduce moderate lower back pain in this population of golfers without negatively affecting performance.

Rocker sole shoes seem to be no more beneficial than flat sole shoes in affecting disability and pain outcomes in people with chronic LBP and flat shoes are more beneficial for LBP aggravated by standing or walking.

A systematic literature review of population prevalence studies of low back pain between 1966 and 1998 was conducted to investigate data hom*ogeneity and appropriateness for pooling, and a model using uniform best-practice methods is proposed.
