In patients with Morton Neuroma, stride length, stance phase percentage, swing phase percentage, cadence and speed parameters, and fore, mid and hind foot pressure distribution will be recorded with the Zebris FDM-THM-S treadmill system in the analysis of barefoot walking after the physical examination evaluation of the cases.While the treadmil is in a static state, pressure distribution measurement will be taken by baropedography, and personalized insoles will be produced according to the baropedographic pressure map. Patients will be delivered to the patient for indoor and outdoor use for 4 weeks. After a 4-week usage period, measurements related to pressure and walking parameters will be repeated.

RECRUITINGStep length (centimeter- cm)
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.
Time frame: 4weeks
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
Time frame: 4 weeks
Cadance
Cadence (steps/min) 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. Cadence is steps/minute. It is defined as the step frequency.
Time frame: 4 weeks
Velocity
Velocity 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. The system measures average gait speed during the analyzed measuring interval. The unit is expressed as km/hr.

Foot pressure distiribution
Foot pressure distiribution 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. The system evaluate the average maximum values reached in N/cm² for the three zones: toes, mid-foot and heel.
Time frame: 4 weeks
Pain - Visual Analogue Scale
Visual Analogue Scale is one of the simple and common methods used in pain assessment. Self reported pain intensity during the rest and the activity measured by 0-10 centimeter chart. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), where 0 indicates no pain or best and 10 indicates the most intense pain imaginable or worst. The patient will mark the severity of the pain on a 10 cm long chart.
Time frame: 4 weeks
