• Performing exercises related to foot health

  1\. Primary Outcome Measure Outcome Measure Title: Change from Baseline in Self-Foot Health Assessment Instrument (S-FHAI) Score at 6 weeks. Description: The S-FHAI is a self-assessment tool consisting of 22 items across 4 categories: skin health (11 items), toenail health (5 items), foot structure (5 items), and foot pain (2 items). Items are primarily evaluated using "Yes/No" responses, while the final item regarding pain intensity uses a 5-point Likert scale (0=no pain, 4=worst imaginable pain). The total score is used to assess the individual's foot health status. Higher scores indicate different levels of foot health across the specified domains. Time Frame: Baseline and 6 weeks.
