Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Foot muscle strentgh assesment
Time Frame: Pre-intervention assesment and after 8-week
Toe muscle strength will be assessed through the utilization of a handheld dynamometer.
3D gait analysis
Time Frame: Pre-intervention assesment and after 8-week
The kinetic/kinematic analysis of the foot and the lower extremity will be conducted using a motion capture system, specifically employing the Oxford Foot Model and the Plug-in Gait Model.
Performance and dynamic balance assesment
Time Frame: Pre-intervention assesment and after 8-week
Front jump test and star excursion balance test will be performed by participants.
Foot posture assesment
Time Frame: Pre-intervention assesment and after 8-week
Foot Posture Index 6 and navicular drop will be used for assesing the foot pronation.
Secondary Outcomes
- Functional assesment(Pre-intervention assesment and after 8-week)
- Quality of life assesment(Pre-intervention assesment and after 8-week)
