A newly published study, The Impact of Podiatric Intervention on the Quality of Life and Pain in Children and Adolescents with Hypermobility, evaluated the effect of custom-made orthotics on pain, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), function, and fatigue in children and adolescents aged 5-18 with generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) and lower limb pain.
In this study, children with GJH reported reduced lower limb pain, improved HRQoL, functional endurance, and fatigue after a month post-fitting of custom-made orthotics which was maintained over a three-month period. Read this paper here.
