In this study, 45 individuals with foot hyper pronation were selected as a statistical sample and randomly assigned to 3 groups (comprehensive corrective exercises, comprehensive corrective exercises with instruction cues, and control). Corrective exercises were performed and Kinematic data were recorded. At the beginning and end of the training program, pre-test and post-test were performed in 3 groups.
