Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The endpoint for all participants is the 4-week intervention period (T3, shoes + foot orthoses). However, baseline (T1; only shoes) and immediate (T2, shoes + foot orthoses) measurements must first be taken on the first day of treatment. At all test time points, only the hindfoot angle is measured. Consequently, at the end of the study, the hindfoot angles at T1, T2, and T3 are available for the randomly assigned treatment (SMFO or BMFO).
