LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Data showed carbon fiber insoles and polyethylene shoe insoles were associated with improved patient-reported pain scores in patients with plantar fasciitis.
“Carbon fiber and [polyethylene] PE [insoles] seem to have positive trends in pain intensity and pain interference, as well,” Atta Taseh, MD, said in his presentation at the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society Annual Meeting.
Taseh, along with his colleagues at Massachusetts General Hospital, randomly assigned 45 patients who were diagnosed with plantar faciitis between April 2022 to August 2023.
