Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pain score on the Visual Analog Scale. Timepoint: Before, immediately after, and four weeks after wearing the orthoses. Method of measurement: The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) will be a 100 mm line on which individuals will be asked to mark their level of pain. The researcher will then measure the distance from the starting point to the marked point in centimeters. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Time of timed up and go test. Timepoint: Before, immediately after, and four weeks after wearing the orthoses. Method of measurement: The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test will involve asking the individual to stand up from a seated position, walk a predetermined distance of three meters at their chosen speed and stride length, turn around, and walk the distance again until they reach the chair and sit down. The time taken to complete this series of activities will be the criterion for evaluation, measured with a stopwatch with an accuracy of 0.01 seconds. | — |
