What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Foot Posture Index

    A widely used method to assess foot posture and classify individuals according to different foot types.

    Each criterion is scored on a 5-point scale ranging from -2 to +2.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. Navicular Drop Test

    It is a clinical assessment used to evaluate the degree of foot pronation or flattening of the medial longitudinal arch during weight bearing. It is commonly used to assess foot pronation, especially the vertical displacement of the navicular bone during weight bearing.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  3. Biodex Balance System

    It is a computerized balance assessment system widely used in clinical and research settings to assess and improve balance and stability. The Biodex Balance System typically consists of a computerized platform with force sensors, visual feedback display and various training modes. It provides quantitative measurements of balance parameters, allowing accurate assessment and monitoring of progress

    Measured: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pittsburg Sleep Index

    It is a widely used scale that evaluates sleep quality and disorders related to sleep problems.

    The Pitssburg sleep index includes 19 questions Each question is scored from 0 to 3 points, with a high score indicating poor sleep quality. The scale has a total score with a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 21 points

    Measured: 6 weeks
