Comparison of the Effects of Morton's Neuroma on Foot Pressure Distribution and Gait Parameters in Pes Planus and Pes Cavus Patients

Acibadem University40 enrolled

Overview

The aim of our study is to compare the effect of Morton's neuroma in feet with pes planus and pes cavus on foot pressure and temporal and spatial gait parameters.

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Enrollment

Conditions

Morton Neuroma Pes Planus Pes Cavus

Interventions

Comparison of gait and foot pressureOTHER

The spatio temporal gait parameters of the patients will be evaluated with Zebris (Zebris Medical Limited , Germany) FDM (Force Distribution Measurement ) treadmill system. The system has production of 3D motion analysis and force measurement technologies for biomechanics. When the treadmill is in static and dynamic condition, strong pressure distribution measurement will be taken.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Foot rotation

Foot rotation (degree), will be evaluated by Zebris (Zebris Medical Limited - Germany) FDM (Force distribution measurement ) System. Participants will walk barefoot on the Zebris FDM (Zebris Medical Limited, Germany) treadmill system. Aim of the system to assessment the angle between the longitudinal axis of the foot and the running direction. Negative value = inward rotation, positive value = outward rotation.Subtalar joint supination describes angulation in the negative direction and pronation describes the angulation in the positive direction.Unit of measure is degrees.

Time frame: 4 weeks

Step length

Step length (cm) will be evaluated by Zebris (Zebris Medical Limited -, Germany) FDM (Force distribution measurement ) System. Participants will walk barefoot on the Zebris FDM (Zebris Medical Limited, Germany) treadmill system. Aim of the system analyzes gait of the patients. Step length describes the distance between the heel contact of one side of the body and the heel contact of the contralateral side. Unit of measure is centimeter.

Time frame: 4 weeks

Stance phase percentage

Stance phase percentage (%) will be evaluated by Zebris (Zebris Medical Limited -, Germany) FDM (Force distribution measurement ) System. Participants will walk barefoot on the Zebris FDM (Zebris Medical Limited, Germany) treadmill system. Stance phase percentage describes the phase of a gait cycle in which the foot has contact with the ground.The unit is expressed as a percentage.

Time frame: 4 weeks

Swing phase percentage

Swing phase percentage (%) will be evaluated by Zebris (Zebris Medical Limited -, Germany) FDM (Force distribution measurement ) System. Participants will walk barefoot on the Zebris FDM (Zebris Medical Limited, Germany) treadmill system. Swing phase describes the phase of a gait cycle during which the foot has no contact with the ground. The unit is expressed as a percentage.
