Effectiveness of Custom-Made Foot Orthoses vs. Heel-Lifts in Children with Calcaneal Apophysitis (Sever’s Disease): A CONSORT-Compliant Randomized Trial
The aim of the present research was to determine the effectiveness of relieving calcaneal apophysitis pain using “off-the-shelf” heel-lifts and custom-made orthotics. Two intervention modalities were evaluated and compared in a 12-week follow-up trial. Inclusion criteria included 9- to 12-year-old c...
