We also wanted to establish whose opinion on orthopaedic shoes is the most important for the users and whether the orthopaedic shoes reduce foot pain and walking problems. In addition, we surveyed the types of adjustments and the differences in adjustments with respect to shoe type. Methods: The patients who visited the outpatient clinic for complex foot deformities at the University Rehabilitation Institute in Ljubljana in 2013 and had been wearing custom-made orthopaedic shoes for at least one year were asked to fill in a survey on the importance of various factors for user satisfaction, which was designed based on published research. The collected data were statistically analysed. Results: The survey included 128 persons aged 12 to 92 years who had been using orthopaedic shoes for 1 to 67 years. Forty-nine persons were using custom-made standard shoes, 58 were using custom-made standard shoes with foot orthosis designed and manufactured by plaster-casting ("advanced type"), and 21 were using shoes designed and manufactured by plaster casting ("the most advanced type"). The participants ranked comfort the highest, followed by durability. The least important factor was other people's opinion. Orthopaedic shoes significantly reduced foot pain (average rating on 0-10 scale diminished from 5.9 to 2.7, p<0.001) and walking problems (average rating on 0-10 scale diminished from 8.1 to 2.1, p<0.001). The more advanced the shoes, the more adjustments were required, and the types of adjustments statistically significantly differed (p<0.001) with respect to the type of shoes. Conclusion: Shoe comfort is the most important factor for satisfaction of the users of orthopaedic shoes in Slovenia. Orthopaedic shoes successfully reduce foot paint and walking problemsUvod: V raziskavi smo želeli ugotoviti, kateri dejavniki in v katerem vrstnem redu so pomembni za zadovoljstvo uporabnikov ortopedskih čevljev v Sloveniji. Dodatno smo želeli ugotoviti tudi, čigava mnenja o ortopedskih čevljih so za uporabnika najpomembnejša ter ali jim ortopedski čevlji zmanjšajo bolečine v stopalih pri hoji in olajšajo hojo. Ugotavljali smo tudi vrste prilagoditev in razlike med prilagoditvami glede na vrsto čevljev. Metode: Bolnike, ki so v letu 2013 obiskali ambulanto za zahtevne deformacije stopal URI - Soča in so že vsaj eno leto nosili individualno izdelane ortopedske čevlje, smo prosili, da so izpolnili vprašalnik o pomembnosti različnih dejavnikov ortopedskih čevljev za uporabnike, ki smo ga pripravili na podlagi ugotovitev objavljenih študij. Zbrane podatke smo statistično analizirali. Rezultati: V raziskavi je sodelovalo 128 oseb, starih od 12 do 92 let, ki so v času študije ortopedsko obutev uporabljali od enega leta do 67 let. Devetinštirideset oseb je uporabljalo posebej izdelane čevlje, 58 manj zahtevne in 21 bolj zahtevne čevlje po mavčnem odlitku. Za udeležence je bila najbolj pomembna udobnost, sledila je vzdržljivost čevljev. Najmanj pomemben dejavnik je bilo mnenje drugih ljudi. Z nošenjem ortopedskih čevljev se je značilno zmanjšala bolečina v stopalih (povprečna ocena na lestvici od 0 do 10 se je zmanjšala s 5,9 na 2,7; p<0,001) in težave pri hoji (povprečna ocena na lestvici od 0 do 10 se je zmanjšala z 8,1 na 2,1; p<0,001). Z zahtevnostjo obutve narašča število prilagoditev, ki se statistično značilno (p<0,001) razlikuje glede na vrsto ortopedske obutve. Zaključek: Najpomembnejši dejavnik, ki vpliva na zadovoljstvo uporabnikov ortopedske obutve v Sloveniji, je udobnost čevljev. Z ortopedskimi čevlji uspešno zmanjšamo bolečine v stopalih in težave pri hojiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverzitetni rehabilitacijski inštitut RS – Soča
