Primary |
Changes in Trigger Points at 3 months |
Local hypertonic change in muscle function arising as a manifestation of pathogenic tension, 0 no trigger point, 2 maximal tiger point (higher value, worse function) |
Pre-assessment (baseline testing), Post-assessment (immediately after the end of three months). |
|
Secondary |
Change in the Foot posture index at 3 and 15 month |
Clinical examination of the foot type ranging from significantly pronated (values 6 - 12) to significantly supinated (values from -1 to -12) one according to the 6-item, higher value (both negative or positive) means worse function. |
Pre-assessment (baseline testing), Post-assessment (immediately after the end of three months), Follow up (at 15 months). |
|
Secondary |
Change in Foot morphology and flexibility at 3 and 15 month |
examination by means of the full foot 3D scanner Footscan® and the software 3D scanner 7.7 while sitting and standing still. Arch high index defines two kinds of pathologies: hypermobility under 0,6, norm 0,7 - 0,8, rigidity 0,9 - 1,3 |
Pre-assessment (baseline testing), Post-assessment (immediately after the end of three months), Follow up (at 15 months). |
|
Secondary |
Change in Postural stability at 3 and 15 month |
evaluation of the level of postural stability using the total path of displacement of the centre of pressure of the body on the mat in mm and the maximum displacement obtained in the latero-lateral and in the anteroposterior direction in mm (lower number means better function), measurement using the RS Footscan® tensiometric plate, higher value means worse function. |
Pre-assessment (baseline testing), Post-assessment (immediately after the end of three months), Follow up (at 15 months). |
|
Secondary |
Change in the subtalar joint flexibility at 3 and 15 month |
mobility of the subtalar joint during the initial phase of walking (software evaluation after walking barefoot on the Footscan® tensiometric plate). Under 5.5° means normal range of pronation and normal function. Higher values mean worse function and pathologic pronation during initial phase of gait. |
Pre-assessment (baseline testing), Post-assessment (immediately after the end of three months), Follow up (at 15 months). |
|
Secondary |
Change in the foot progression angle at 3 and 15 month |
rotation of the foot during walking (software evaluation after walking barefoot on the Footscan® tensiometric plate). Normal angle 0-5.4°, in-toeing (inwards rotation) under 0°, out-toeing (outward rotation) above 5.5°. |
Pre-assessment (baseline testing), Post-assessment (immediately after the end of three months), Follow up (at 15 months). |
