Participants will be randomized to one of two groups - contoured prefabricated foot orthoses or flat shoe inserts (the comparator). Participants will be asked to use the inserts daily for a six week period. Adherence to the intervention will be monitored using a daily diary, as well as adverse events and co-interventions. The primary outcome is feasibility domains (Demand, Implementation, Acceptability, Practicality) with secondary outcomes of change in hip-related pain and quality of life and physical activity levels. The primary time-point will be 6-weeks.
This trial is a randomized feasibility trial to determine the feasibility of comparing two different shoe inserts and on pain, quality of life and physical activity associated with hip osteoarthritis.
