Efficacy of the Treatment of Plantar Orthoses With Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in Plantar Fasciitis

The foot orthoses for group A were custom made using phenolic foam molds of the feet. Separated molds were made of both feet for all the participants. . The insole was made based on a positive mold of plaster with 45 Shore cork materials with horizontal thrusts just proximal to the metatarsal heads, with the intention of correcting the pathological subtalar pronation, with a 3mm bilateral raising of the heel and a bilateral latex metatarsal bar.

For group B, a flat insole of polyester resin was made, fitting it to the foot's size.
