Interventions
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Foot Posture Index (FPI) was used as evaluating pronated foot posture. Subjects with FPI scores of 6-12 were recruited in the current study.
- All participants should be free of Achilles tendinopathy and triceps surae injury for 6 months.
- no previous surgery.
- not previously attempted any foot orthoses intervention before this study.
You may not qualify if:
- leg-length discrepancy
- rigid forefoot varus deformity
- gastrocnemius equinus
- structural hallux limitus, or rigidus
- Any musculoskeletal or neurological disorders
