Brief Summary:
Metatarsalgia is a common set of symptoms in the forefoot characterized by pain under one or more metatarsal heads The invention of a utility model the U202030700 designed by the studys principal investigator aims to protect the metatarsus and prevent the appearance of foot pain
The hypothesis of this research project is based on the fact that using our proposed sock with metatarsal discharge plate will bring advantages in terms of pain reduction increased comfort temperature reduction and change in plantar pressures received in the second and third metatarsals joint area versus the use of control socks without discharge plate
Participants will be subjects with pain in the plantar metatarsal area that will answer few questions and a podiatric exam to determine if meet the study requirements and then a plantar pressures foot temperature and confort wit the two kind of socks will be taken
Confort survey thermal pictures and plantar pressures will be taken in first term before and after a brief walk 5 to 10 minutes and in a second experiment second term after a long walk more than 1 hour

Detailed Description:
Metatarsalgia is a common set of symptoms in the forefoot characterized by pain under one or more metatarsal heads First option should opt for conservative treatments among these it is noteworthy the application of pressure relief elements from these anatomical zones These elements usually made of soft materials such as felt or foams of different compositions are arranged covering the entire metatarsal area with the exception of the compromised sector that is overloaded and painful giving rise to discharge elements with a geometry similar to a U In this way the other areas of the metatarsus support the discharge element leaving exposed the overloaded area so that it reduces or avoids its direct support on the support surface thus mitigating the excess pressure in the compromised area and therefore pain It is therefore desirable to have unloading elements of the metatarsal area easy to use by a user and that do not involve major alterations in their usual clothing
Different types of socks are known with configurations which give them beneficial effects on health However these existing models have not specifically focused on the plantar part of the sock there is therefore no simple and economical solution for the protection of the metatarsus and the mitigation of pain and discomfort usually caused by its pathologies This has been solved by the invention of a utility model the U202030700 designed by the studys principal investigator and his research group

Specific objectives
- To record the differences of plantar pressures thermal and general confort with control socks and experimental socks after a briefs walks
The type of intervention will be randomly assigned meaning neither participant nor the secondary researchers knows the sock worn The principal investigator Alfonso MartÃnez Nova will perform the randomization
Participants Subjects with pain in the plantar metatarsal area are suitable to participate in the study
Participants will answer few questions and a podiatric exam to determine if meet the study requirements and then
Answering a survey on health status and pain in the metatarsal area mainly Collection of the necessary data plantar pressures foot temperature and confort wit the two kind of socks
Materials Experiment socks and control same fiber fabric weight Pressure platform Footscan Flir e60bx thermographic camera
Confort survey thermal pictures and plantar pressures will be taken in first term before and after a brief walk 5 to 10 minutes and in second term before and after a long walk more than 1 hour
The new sock aimed to protect the metatarsus and prevent the appearance of foot pain
