Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • X-ray measurements of the angles: talus-calcaneus, talus-navicular and talus-first metatarsal angle.

    Before delivering the treatment, all subjects underwent dorsoplantar radiography, repeated at the end of the treatment (after one year). Differences in the talus-calcaneus, tibionavicular and talus-first metatarsal angles were compared, pre and post-treatment of both study groups. Test analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was performed as a sataistical test.
