Objetivo: El objetivo principal de este trabajo es analizar la evidencia científica en relación a la efectividad de los soportes plantares para tratar el dolor femoropatelar.Material y métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en cuatro bases de datos (Pubmed, Cochrane, Science Direct y Dialnet). Los términos empleados en la búsqueda fueron: patelofemoral pain syndrome, treatment, orthoses y orthotics. Se tuvieron en cuenta los artículos de los últimos 15 años que hablaran de soportes plantares a medida y prefabricados, que no combinaran las plantillas con otra terapia y que no fueran revisiones sistemáticas.Resultados: Se revisó un total de 10 artículos al completo. Tanto las ortesis a medida como las prefabricadas obtuvieron buenos resultados, aunque a largo plazo fueron mejores las plantillas a medida.Conclusión: Los soportes plantares son una buena alternativa al tratamiento del síndrome de dolor patelofemoral.
Objective: patellofemoral pain syndrome is one of the main causes of pathology in the knee and consists of a pain in the anterior area of the knee due to stress conditions in the patellofemoral Joint. Its causes are not entirely clear, so there is no concrete treatment to solve it. The main objective of this work is to analyse the scientific evidence in relation to the effectiveness of plantar supports to treat the patellofemoral pain. Methods: A bibliographic search was carried out in four databases (Pubmed, Cochrane, Science Direct and Dialnet). The terms used in the search were: patellofemoral pain syndrome, treatment, orthoses and orthotics. The articles of the last 15 years that spoke of custom and prefabricated plantar supports, that did not combine the templates with other therapy and that were not systematic reviews, were taken into account. Results: A total of 10 articles were reviewed. Both the customized and prefabricated orthoses obtained good results, although in the long term the customized templates were better. Conclusion: The plantar supports are a good alternative to the treatment of patellofemoral pain syndrome.
