Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare low-level laser therapy and insole interventions on pain, function and muscle strength in subjects with posterior tendon insufficiency.

Conditions

  • Posterior Tibial Tendon Insufficiency

Interventions

DEVICE

Orthotic Insole

A computer numerical control machine was used to product insoles according to pedobarographic pressure data;35 Shore A hardness ethyl vinyl acetate was used for the main insole,and 3mm,15 Shore A hardness ethyl vinyl acetate was used for covering.Orthotic insoles have been emplemented in a pair of sports shoes.

DEVICE

Low-Level Laser

A low density laser with a power density of 0.05-0.10 (w / cm2), a therapeutic dose of 0.7-7 (j / cm 2) of gallium-arsenic 904 nm will be applied. It will be 3 administered times a week for 5 weeks. Laser treatment will be applied along the tibialis posterior tendon. 3 different point (proximal tibial tendon, distally tibial tendon and posterior medial malleol) applications will be done.
