Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Foot and Ankle Disability Index	The Foot and Ankle Disability Index is a 34-item questionnaire with two subscales: the Foot and Ankle Disability Index and the Foot and Ankle Disability Index Sport. Foot and Ankle Disability Index has 26 items, whereas Foot and Ankle Disability Index Sport has 8. The Foot and Ankle Disability Index includes four pain-related measures and twenty-two activity-related items. The Foot and Ankle Disability Index Sport kit includes eight activities-related products. It evaluates harder activities that are necessary in sports. The Foot and Ankle Disability Index Sport is distinct in that it is a population-specific subscale created specifically for athletes.	1st day
36-Item Short Form Survey	The 36-Item Short Form Survey is a popular, well-researched self-reported health assessment. It is based on the Medical Outcomes Study, which consists of 36 questions covering eight areas of health:, Limitations in physical activities due to health issues, Limitations in social activities due to physical or mental issues, Restrictions in normal role activities due to physical health issues, Bodily discomfort, General mental health (psychological distress and well-being), Restrictions in regular role activities due to emotional issues, Vitality (energy and tiredness), General health perceptions. The 36-Item Short Form Survey is frequently used to assess a person's or population's quality of life.	1st day
Visual Analogue Scale	A Visual Analogue Scale is a measuring tool that attempts to quantify a trait or attitude that is thought to span throughout a range of values and cannot be easily quantified directly. It is frequently used in epidemiologic and clinical research to assess the severity or frequency of different symptoms. A patient's level of pain, for example, might range from none to high. From the patient's point of view, this spectrum seems continuous; their pain does not appear to have distinct leaps, as a classification of none, mild, moderate, and severe would imply. The Visual Analogue Scale was created to capture the concept of an underlying continuity.	1st day
