Effect of Holofiber Socks and Bedding on Pain and Quality of Sleep in Subjects With Chronic Foot...
Diabetic NeuropathyArthritis2 moreThis study is designed to assess the effects of socks and bedding materials on foot pain, the level of blood oxygen existing in the feet and quality of sleep in subjects who have chronic foot pain from either diabetic neuropathy or other conditions, e.g., peripheral arterial disease, regenerative joint disease). The three main hypotheses to be tested are: 1)compared to placebo socks, subjects wearing Holofiber socks experience reduction in foot pain, 2)compared to placebo bedding, subjects sleeping in beds lined with a Holofiber mattress pad experience improved quality of sleep and 3) compared to placebo socks, subjects who wear Holofiber socks will have increased blood oxygenation levels in their feet.

Plantar FasciitisPlantar FasciopathyThe purpose of this study is to compare the Ankle Dorsiflexion Dynasplint System (DS) to static night splint for the reduction of pain from Plantar Fasciitis (Fasciopathy).
A Comparative Study of Kinesiology Taping Versus Taping in the Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar FasciitisPlantar fasciitis is a very studied pathology and treated with taping. There are studies that assess the effectiveness of Kinesio taping, as well as taping or low-dye taping, few studies that compare the two treatments and assess which is more effective. In the present work the effectiveness of Kinesio taping and taping will be assessed, as well as whether possible differences among intervention effects exist in terms of pain improvement, comfort and durability of the bandage.
