Although heel lifts are recommended for numerous lower limb musculoskeletal conditions, such as posterior leg muscle strains [42], the existing evidence is limited to eight trials and three musculoskeletal conditions (mid‐portion Achilles tendinopathy, plantar heel pain and calcaneal apophysitis).
15 cze 2024 · 11 CONCLUSION. This systematic review of eight trials demonstrates that the current evidence for the efficacy and safety of heel lifts for lower limb musculoskeletal conditions is limited to mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy, calcaneal apophysitis and plantar heel pain.
21 mar 2019 · The HEALTHY trial (Heel lifts versus calf muscle eccentric Exercise for AchiLles TendinopatHY) is the first randomised trial to compare the efficacy of heel lifts to calf muscle eccentric exercise in reducing pain and improving function in people with Achilles tendinopathy.
Objectives: To compare the efficacy of in-shoe heel lifts to calf muscle eccentric exercise in reducing pain and improving function in mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy.
7 lut 2024 · Heel lifts significantly reduced pain immediately during gait and improved symptom severity after 2 weeks. These results suggest that heel lifts may reduce painful compression at the Achilles tendon insertional and provide supporting evidence that clinicians may use heel lifts in persons with IAT as a nonoperative management technique.
24 maj 2024 · This proposal describes a randomised controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of heel lifts versus sham heel lifts for reducing pain associated with mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy, with an embedded biomechanical analysis.
Heel lifts affect specific lower limb biomechanical and muscle function parameters during walking and running. The clinical relevance and potential therapeutic benefits of these effects needs further investigation.
