Brief summary
The aim of this study is to simulate the orthopedic treatment called Morton's extension on flat foot patients to check balance effects in standing position.
Detailed description
The objective of this study is to perform an assimilation of the orthopedic treatment called morton extension on flat foot patients to verify the balance with stabilometry study.
Interventions
OTHERMorton extension
A Morton extension with a height of 5 mm was insert from the proximal area of the first metatarsal head to the base of the proximal phalanx of the Hallux of the subjects' bare feet using a paper bandage. The material, shape, size, and thickness of the Morton Extension were the same.
