- Registration Number
- NCT03607253
- Lead Sponsor
- Trakya University
- Brief Summary
Medial longitudinal arch (MLA) is a curve of the foot located at the medial side of the body and protection of the height of the MLA is an important factor for limb health.
This study was planned with the aim of investigating the response of the MLA height to the repetitive muscle activity and determine the gender-related differences.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Navicular Drop at first minute, change from baseline arch height at 2nd minutes Vertical distance of navicular tuberosity (highest point of the MLA) to the ground is measured for two times. First; with the foot placed in subtalar joint neutral position in full weight-bearing and second; in relaxed standing position. The difference between the two values are recorded as Navicular Drop (mm).
