Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Disability of the foot and ankle. Improvement in disability verified by a change of at least 20 points with a standard deviation of 30 points in the AOFAS scale in the pre and post intervention measurements.;Small difference but no significant on disability of the foot and ankle for the foot orthoses group. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Load distribution and oscillation. Improvement on load distribution in the feet and the oscillation of the centers of gravity in the pre and post intervention measurements, verified by computed baropodometry to standart values: 60% charge in rearfoot; 40% in the forefoot; 50% in the left foot and 50% on the right foot with a standard deviation of 3%. Oscillation between 0.010 cm2 to 0.15 with standard deviation of 0.20.;There was no significant difference in load distribution and oscillation of feet between the groups.;Global functionality. Improvement of the global functionality measured for any increase in the HAQ (Health Assessment Questionnaire)in the pre and post intervention measurements.;Small difference but no significant on global functionality of the foot and ankle for the foot orthoses group. | — |
