| Navicular drop index. Timepoint: Before and after the intervention. Method of measurement: In all individuals, the type of foot structure will be determined using the navicular drop method based on the Brady technique. In this method, the subject sits on a chair and positions their legs straight on a hard surface so that the thigh and knee form a 90-degree angle, and the hip joint has no abduction or adduction, with the ankle joint in a neutral position. In this position, the navicular bone prominence is first marked, and then the distance from the navicular bone prominence to the ground is measured using a ruler. The tester is prompted to stand on both feet without changing position, ensuring that the body weight is evenly distributed across both feet. The height of the navicular bone prominence to the ground is measured again with a ruler. Finally, the difference between the first position (sitting on the chair) and the second position (standing on both feet) is calculated in millimeters and considered as the amount of navicular drop. In this study, the amount of navicular drop for each subject will be measured three times for each foot to determine the bilateral nature of the disorder. A navicular drop of 5-9 millimeters is considered typical for a normal foot, while a drop of more than 10 millimeters is considered flatfoot.;Y balance test. Timepoint: Before and after the intervention. Method of measurement: This test was conducted in three directions: anterior, posterior-internal, and posterior-external, so that the subject stood on one leg at the center of Y and attempted to reach with the other leg while maintaining balance on the supporting leg. The subject would touch the farthest possible point in each of the specified directions without error using the toes. The distance from the point of contact to the center was the reach distance, which would be measured in centimeters. To minimize learning effects, each subject would practice this test in each of the t | — |
