1.	Pain (Aches) 01/01/2018 - "The use of custom-made foot orthoses was the intervention that exerted the most significant reduction of the level of pain in the forefoot in most of the studies. " 02/10/2011 - "Referral for conservative management with foot orthoses in the early stage of RA seems important when aiming to achieve reduction in pain and improvement in daily activities." 01/01/2020 - "Significance: Orthotic insoles significantly improved gait symmetry in the pelvis in the frontal plane and the ankle in the sagittal plane, as well as pain in all subjects (both LLD ≤ 1 cm and LLD > 1 cm) suggesting that it may be appropriate to treat even mild leg length discrepancy." 05/01/2004 - "The accommodative foot orthoses demonstrated a significant reduction in foot pain only at 4 weeks. " 01/01/2017 - "The combined use of a knee braces and foot orthoses can provide more improvement in knee adduction moment, reduced pain and increased function."

" 01/01/2021 - "Using an anti-pronator component is more effective than increasing foot orthoses stiffness to observe a beneficial impact of foot orthoses on the control of excessive foot pronation in individuals with flatfeet." 06/01/2014 - "The findings indicated a significant improvement in symmetry of steps and walking speed with the functional foot orthosis in comparison to the medical shoe in flat foot children. " 05/01/2021 - "Foot orthoses are more effective in providing dynamic pressure redistribution in flexible flatfoot. " 04/01/2014 - "The modified foot orthosis improved the foot alignment and decreased the symptoms of flat foot with more comfort. "
4.	Stroke (Strokes) 10/01/2016 - "This study suggests that in post-stroke hemiplegic patients using ankle-foot orthosis, wearing rocker shoes can lead to much more improved functional mobility and decreased energy expenditure compared to ankle-foot orthosis only. " 11/01/2022 - "Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are used to improve physical performance measures of physical function (PF) post-stroke; however, the perception of improved PF of this population has not been described.

"
5.	Plantar Fasciitis 12/01/2012 - "Recently, there has been a debate on this practice, and studies have shown that the individual prescription of rocker shoes or custom-made foot orthoses is effective in treating plantar fasciitis. " 11/01/2009 - "This randomized clinical trial examined the efficacy of low-frequency electrical stimulation combined with stretching exercises and foot orthoses in individuals diagnosed as having plantar fasciitis for less than 6 months. " 02/01/2007 - "Customized or prefabricated foot orthoses improved function only in the short term in patients with plantar fasciitis." 06/01/2023 - "The purpose of this randomized controlled trial study was to determine the effects of CAD/CAM foot orthoses that were designed based on the dynamic plantar pressure in patients with plantar fasciitis.
