Abstract
Background People who have extremely high-arched feet or pes cavus often suffer from substantial foot pain. Custommade foot orthoses have been shown to be an effective treatment option, but their specificity is unclear. It is generally thought that one of the primary functions of custom foot orthoses is redistribution of abnormal plantar pressures. This study sought to identify variables associated with pain relief after custom foot orthoses intervention.
