Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
the Portable Computerized Kinesthetic Equilibrium Device (SportKAT 550)
Time Frame: 6 months
balance
6 months
Foot Function Index
Time Frame: 6 months
Foot Function Index of 23 items, and evaluates the pain, disability and activity limitation. The each of the pain and insufficiency subscales consist of 9 items and the activity limitation subscale includes 5 items. Patients score their foot pain level with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in various situations during the last 1 week. To calculate the scores of the index, the score of each item are summed, then divided by possible the maximum score can be obtained from the FFI. Higher scores indicate greater pain, disability and activity limitation level.
6 months
Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index
Time Frame: 6 months
Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index consists of 4 subsections including 9 questions for inadequacy, 5 questions for pain, 3 questions for concern and 2 questions for difficulty. Each item is scored between 0-2. The total score is calculated by summing the scores from all items. Higher scores indicate worse health situation.
