About

The aim of our study is to compare the effect of Morton's neuroma in feet with pes planus and pes cavus on foot pressure and temporal and spatial gait parameters.

Enrollment: 40 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Patients diagnosed with bilateral pes planus or pes cavus

• Diagnosis of unilateral Morton neuroma

• Confirmation of the diagnosis of Morton's neuroma with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

• Pain level of the patients during walking is at least 3 according to the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).

  • Volunteer to study over the age of 18

Exclusion criteria

• Having Symptomatic musculoskeletal disease in the lower extremity
• Having peripheral nervous system disease
• Presence of rigid deformity in the foot
• Extremity or contralateral extremity surgery with Morton's neuroma
• Having received physiotherapy in the last 3 months

Trial design

40 participants in 2 patient groups

Morton Neuroma + pes planus

Description:

The effect of unilateral morton neuroma on gait parameters and foot pressure distribution in patients with bilateral pes planus will be investigated. Foot pressure distributions and gait parameters of the patients; foot rotation, step length, stance phase percentage, swing phase percentage, cadence, velocity, rerefoot pressure, midfoot pressure and forefoot pressure will be recorded with Zebris FDM -T ( Force distiribution Measurement Treadmill ) system. Zebris is a name of company in German .

Other: Comparison of gait and foot pressure
