Others(vibration heel shoes) : This is a prospective, randomized, two-period crossover pilot study comparing a vibration shoe with a visually similar non-vibration sham shoe in patients with chronic p
appearance, structure and weight were the same. However, the chip is activated by heel strike during walking and the vibration is tactilely perceptible, so participant blinding could not be maintained
between-subject variability and non-specific shoe effects were instead controlled by the within-subject crossover comparison. Allocation was computer-generated and concealed until assignment.
The int
the vibratory stimulus occurs only while the shoe is worn and ceases immediately upon removal, and there is no evidence of persistent tissue-level physiological change. Because each period lasted
