Conditions
Healthy Subjects
Interventions
Other: Morton extension
Registration Number
NCT06526715
Lead Sponsor
Mayuben Private Clinic
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to simulate the orthopedic treatment called Morton's extension on flat foot patients to check balance effects in standing position.

Detailed Description

The objective of this study is to perform an assimilation of the orthopedic treatment called morton extension on flat foot patients to verify the balance with stabilometry study.
