Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to systematically evaluate anthropometric and lifestyle parameters in individuals diagnosed with PF and compare them with healthy individuals. This will reveal the structural and behavioural risk factors involved in the development of PF, providing a scientific basis for preventive measures and orthotic approaches. Assessment Parameters: Medical History Form

1. 1.Demographic data: Age, height, weight, BMI
2. 2.Foot anthropometric measurements
3. 3.Footwear preference: Footwear Assessment Score ( Footwear Assessment Score )
4. 4.Lower extremity joint health: History of pain, injury, or limitation in the knee and hip joints
5. 5.Daily step count: Measurement using the Step Counter mobile application
6. 6.Physical activity level: IPAQ-SF (International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form) questionnaire
