Compare the effects of prefabricated foot orthoses with and without metatarsal pads on pain intensity in the 2nd to 4th metatarsophalangeal joints, foot and ankle functional abilities as well as the occurrence of plantar callosities among patients with central metatarsalgia.
Metatarsalgia is a common condition that affecting about 10% of the general population. Central metatarsalgia involves pathology of the 2nd to 4th metatarsal and their respective metatarsophalangeal joints. This randomized control trial is designed to compare the effects of prefabricated foot orthoses with and without metatarsal pads on pain intensity, foot and ankle functional abilities as well as the occurrence of plantar callosities.

| Pain intensity at the 2nd to 4th metatarsophalangeal joints during walking in shoes on Visual Analogue Scale | VAS consists of a 100mm-long uninterrupted horizontal line, with 2 verbal description at each end. A score of 0mm represents "no pain" while 100 mm represents "the worst imaginable pain". | Baseline, a follow-up at 4-8 weeks from baseline |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) | FAOS consists of 42 questions, which are categorized into 5 subdomains: symptoms, pain, activities of daily living, sports and quality of life. Each question id rated on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 to 4 and subsequently transformed into a normalized score between 0 and 100. A score of 100 indicates absence of symptoms, while a score of 0 indicates the presence of severe symptoms. |
