Outcomes and potential mechanism of a protocol to optimize foot orthoses in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Foot problems are highly prevalent in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Treatment of foot problems related to rheumatoid arthritis often consists of custom made foot orthoses. One of the assumed working mechanisms of foot orthoses is redistribution of plantar pressure by creating a larger weight bearing area. Overall, the reported treatment effect of foot orthoses on foot pain in rheumatoid arthritis is small to medium.

Long-term diabetic complications as predictors of foot ulcers healing failure: A retrospective study in a tertiary-care center
Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice
A population of patients with diabetic foot ulcers was investigated for factors involved in healing failure after one year of follow-up. A regular follow-up was performed of 144 patients for one year, who were treated for DFU in a tertiary-care center. Compared with healed group (n = 91), not healed group (n = 53) had significantly higher levels of urinary albumin excretion and significantly increased prevalence of diabetic kidney disease and Charcot Arthropathy.

Medical practices are up against it as they struggle to retain patients, cash
By Scott E. Rupp
For some more than others, the COVID-19 pandemic rages on. Still, medical practices remain at the center of battling the virus as they treat patients. They also face personal financial pressures like many of their American counterparts. More than half of clinicians fear another wave of the virus, and they are stressed because of potentially limited access to testing and personal protective equipment, according to a survey of 730 primary care clinicians in 49 states and Washington, D.C.

Comparison of the quality of life in individuals with spinal cord injury wearing either reciprocating gait orthosis or hip knee ankle foot orthosis: A cross-sectional study
Disability and Rehabilitation. Assistive Technology
The quality of life for patients with spinal cord injuries is lower than that for healthy individuals. The main purpose of prescribing orthoses for these individuals is to improve their mobility and QoL. The hip knee ankle foot orthosis has been the conventional choice for such patients, whilst the reciprocating gait orthosis is a more contemporary option.

Indications of sole lift and foot orthoses in the management of mild idiopathic scoliosis-a review
Journal of Physical Therapy Science
Leg length discrepancy is common among patients with scoliosis. Some studies reported reduced functional scoliosis curves with correction of leg length discrepancy. Others, however, have shown that induced leg length discrepancy has little effects on spinal deformities. Also, small number of studies assessed the use of foot orthoses in patients with faulty foot biomechanics and their impact on idiopathic scoliosis.
