ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how custom-made insoles, created with advanced 3D printing technology, can help people with flexible flat feet, also known as pes planus. The researchers want to see if these insoles can improve how pressure is distributed in the foot, help with foot pain, and enhance overall satisfaction when walking.

To participate in the trial, individuals must be between 18 and 55 years old and have been diagnosed with flexible flat feet. They should not have used custom orthotic insoles in the last six months and must be able to walk without any assistance. The study is not currently recruiting participants, but if selected, volunteers will undergo assessments to see how the insoles affect their foot health and comfort. It's important to note that people with certain medical conditions or previous foot surgeries may not be eligible for this trial.
