The present review shows that current scientific literature concerning the usability of orthopaedic shoes focuses mainly on effectiveness at the expense of the other domains of usability , i.e. , efficiency , satisfaction and context of use
Objective : To determine the method ological quality of studies evaluating  orthopaedic shoes and orthopaedic shoe provisions .
To what extent do studies evaluating  orthopaedic shoes prescribed for patients with degenerative disorders of the foot , rheumatoid arthritis , diabetes mellitus and neurological foot disorders , focus on the aspects of the International Organization for St and ardization ( ISO ) definition of usability , i.e. , effectiveness , efficiency , satisfaction , and context of use ?
Evaluation of magnetic foil and PPT Insoles in the treatment of heel pain.
The effect of a magnetic foil placed in the PPT/Rx Firm Molded Insole on the relief of heel pain was determined using the foot function index . Nineteen patients wore the PPT/Rx Firm Molded Insoles with the magnetic foil for 4 weeks and 15 patients wore the same PPT/Rx Firm Molded Insole with no magnetic foil for the same time . Approximately 60 % of patients in both groups reported improvement . There was also no significant difference in the improvement between the magnetic foil group and the PPT/Rx Firm Molded Insole group in their scores on the post-treatment foot function index . These results suggest that the PPT/Rx Firm Molded Insole alone was effective in treating heel pain after only 4 weeks . The magnetic foil offered no advantage over the plain insole
