Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Frontal Plane Projection Angle (FPPA) FPPA will be measured during single-leg squat and step-down tasks using 2D video analysis with Kinovea software. Reflective markers will be placed on anatomical landmarks (ASIS, midpoint of patella, and ankle joint center) to calculate the knee valgus angle. Measurements will be recorded at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention.Timepoint: Pre 0 th week Post 4th week | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Foot Posture Index (FPI-6) Used to assess the degree of flat foot posture. Six criteria will be scored to classify foot posture. Measurements will be taken before and after intervention. Y-Balance Test Used to assess dynamic balance in anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral directions. Reach distances will be recorded and normalized. Measurements will be taken at baseline and after 4 weeks.Timepoint: Pre 0 th week Post 4th week | — |
