Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
At baseline: The patients as per the eligibility criteria will be registered. In the same visit, the measurement of the foot and ankle joint complex will be conducted on the normal and affected sides. The outcome of this study will be a comprehensive database of anthropometric measurements of normal and foot-ankle joint complexes affected by various conditions. with their age-related, gender-related and occupation-related variations.Timepoint: The study is a cross-sectional and observational type. The patients will be examined and measured only at a single point in time. No follow-up will be done at 4 weeks and 8 weeks.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The data thus collected as primary outcome will be act as a database with the help of which in future the patients reporting to OPD with painful conditions involving foot & ankle-joint complex will be diagnosed & treated using non-invasive management. <br/ ><br>The collected data will act as a database for deciding the form of physiotherapy & orthotic management to patients in future.Timepoint: The study is a cross-sectional & observational type. <br/ ><br>Baseline: The patients will be examined & measured only at a single point in time i.e at the baseline itself. No follow-up will be done at 4 weeks & 8 weeks.
