Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Effects of Foot Orthoses on Pain and Disability in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disease, can significantly affect joint function and mobility. This research investigates the effectiveness of foot orthoses (FO) in managing pain and disability in RA patients. The study, a systematic review and meta-analysis, analyzed the results of randomized controlled trials examining the impact of FO on RA patients. The findings suggest that FO can provide significant pain relief for RA patients, but their effect on disability remains uncertain, requiring further investigation. This research offers valuable insights into the potential benefits of FO for RA patients, highlighting the need for further research to fully understand their impact.
