Validation of a Novel Foot Offloading Device
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating PopSole™ Offloading Device for Plantar Fasciitis, Chronic and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Pressure offloading is often considered the most crucial aspect in healing after a foot injury. The investigators have devised a novel foot offloading device (PopSole™) which will allow for customization of the area where there is foot pain, as well as allow for customizable arch support and elevation of the metatarsals. This validation study is aimed to assess improvement of pain with use, ease of use, fit and feel, compliance, and durability over a 4 week period. Validated patient reported outcome measures will be used at baseline, 2 weeks and 4 weeks.

Interventions
Specifically, the PopSole™ Offloading Device allows the provider to pop bubbles in the device (like popping paper or plastic bubble sheeting), thereby offloading the surgical area or area of pain. This customizable approach to offloading may increase compliance as it can easily fit in a normal walking shoe and is personalized for each patient. It can also be attached to a slide for use in the shower. Currently no post-operative devices for offloading the foot can be used in the shower.
