Protocol summary

Study aim
to determine Effect of altered lumbar belt, with and without custom-made insoles, and comparison of it with prefabricated belts on low back pain and functional disability in pronated foot patients.
Design
This study is a randomized clinical trial. According to previous studies, considering the error of 5% (95% confidence interval) and power of 80%, and the effect size equal to 60%, a sample size of 9 people in each group is required ( In total equivalent to 36 people). Due to the possibility of falling, the sample size will increase to 10 people in each group. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the groups . For proper and random assignment in groups, block arrangement will be used according to Appendix 3.
Settings and conduct
Sampling is performed among patients referred to neurology and orthopedic clinics of Shahid Rajaei Hospital in Shiraz according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
inclusion criteria: non-specific low back pain, pronation in one or both feet, Age between 30 to 50 years,chronic low back pain, minimum score of 3 on the VAS for low back pain at the start, Body mass index between 18.5 to 30 Non-entry conditions: History of injury or surgery on ankle or back, concomitant use of other treatments such as physiotherapy or injections, mobility impairment, lameness or Significant asymmetry in walking, pregnancy or history of labor in the last six months, anisomelia more than 5 mm, history of ankle sprain, rigid pronation, genovarum
Intervention groups
Control group: Tavanmehr prefabricated belt, 1st intervention group: modified belt which is the same as conventional belt with silicone textured pad, 2nd intervention group: computer scan insole, 3d intervention group: modified belt with custom insole simultaneously
Main outcome variables
pain and disability in chronic low back pain with origin of foot pronation

Randomization description
Random assignment of each person to four groups with conventional belt, modified belt, custom insole and modified belt with custom insole will be done according to Appendix 3 block arrangement. For example, according to this list, the first participant will be set in the control group. The second participant in firs intervention group , the third participan in third intervention, the fourth participant in second intervention, and so on as the participants include.That is, the allocation sequence will be completely random and based on the randomized block method (arrangement available as a proposal attachment).

Intervention groups

1

Description
Control group: common prefabricated belt. The belt from Tavanmehr Company is considered for each patient based on the recorded size of the pelvic environment in the area between the anterior superior iliac spine and the trochanter and will be closed above the pubice. The force applied by the belt will be 50 Newtons, which is measured by a tensile dynamometer. Then, based on this force, the correct closing place is marked and determined for the patient on the belt, and we ask him to fasten the belt in the same place, and in case of noticeable size or weight change, inform us to adjust the belt.

Description
first Intervention group: altered belt. It is the same as prefabricated belt in which a textured pad is embedded. This pad has a triangular pattern in the shape of a sacrum that covers the lumbar and sacral areas and will be made of silicone, which by installing small cylindrical villi with a height of one centimeter and a diameter of half a centimeter increases the sense of touch and thus proprioception in the lumbar region. Each of the villi will be placed at equal distances of two centimeters from each other. The pad will be attached to the prefabricated belts with Velcro double-sided adhesive. The force applied by the belt will be equal to 50 Newtons, which is measured by a tensile dynamometer.

Description
second Intervention group: custom made insole. Insole fabrication for each patient will be done exclusively by CAD-CAM method. For this purpose, using pressure scan PT-SCAN model 4452F40 of Payafnavaran Ferdowsi Company, made in Iran, pressure scan will be obtained from the participants. The obtained computer scan is evaluated separately for each patient and a special insole is designed for them using PT insole design computer software. The medial edge is 4 degrees from the midline to the inner edge of the insole and is based on the size of the patient foot will be 6 to 8 mm long. The length of the medial longitudinal arch, depending on the size of the patient's foot and the size recorded for him from the talus bone to the head of the first metatarsus and its height will be 15 mm. The metatarsal pad will be located 5 mm behind the second to fourth metatarsals. The size of the metatarsal pad will be such that it covers the three central metatarsals. The height of the metatarsal pad gradually increases from the edges to the middle up to 6 mm at the midpoint. At the end, information is given through G-codes to the device related to Paya Fanavaran Company made in Iran, which cuts the insoles on the foam block with a thickness of 2/3 with the shore of 35 to 40.
