Eligibility Criteria
volunteers from both genders aged from 18 to 40 y who had calcaneal fracture and anderwent internal fixation will participate in the study
You may qualify if:
- Participants referred from orthopedic surgeon with calcaneal fracture treated with internal fixation.
- Adults aged 18-40 .
- Unilateral displaced intra-articular calcaneal fracture .

- Both males and females.
You may not qualify if:
- Problems with cognition, vision, or any other medical issue that might compromise their ability to safely engage in the selected balancing measures should be avoided .
