| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| VR Biodex Group | Experimental | This group will participate in a virtual reality-supported rehabilitation program integrated with the Biodex Balance System device. Participants will perform interactive balance and postural stability exercises through this system |
|
| Video-Based VR Group | Active Comparator | Participants in this group will perform balance and foot exercises accompanied by exercise videos containing visual guidance. This intervention aims to provide the virtual reality experience through video-based content. |
|
| Control Group | Active Comparator | This group will follow a traditional home exercise program without any virtual reality intervention. This group will serve as a baseline for comparing the results of the other two groups |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Foot Function Assessment | Foot pain, disability, and activity limitation will be assessed using the Foot Function Index (FFI), a validated 23-item questionnaire. The total FFI score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating worse foot function (greater pain, disability, and activity limitation). | 6 weeks |
| Foot Pressure Assessment - Maximum Plantar Pressure | Plantar pressure during standing and walking will be assessed using a pedobarographic measurement system. Maximum plantar pressure will be recorded, with higher values indicating greater localized loading on the foot. | 6 weeks |
| Foot Pressure Assessment - Contact Area | The pedobarographic system will measure the total plantar contact area during standing and walking. Larger contact area values indicate greater surface area participation in load distribution. | 6 weeks |
| Foot Pressure Assessment - Center of Pressure (COP) | The pedobarographic system will measure center of pressure displacement during standing and walking. COP path characteristics provide objective indicators of stability and gait mechanics; greater displacement typically indicates reduced postural control. | 6 weeks |
| Balance Performance Assessment | Static and dynamic balance performance will be assessed using the Biodex Balance System. The system provides balance scores ranging from 0 to 12, where lower scores indicate better balance performance. | 6 weeks |
| Physical Activity Level Assessment | Physical activity levels will be assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) - Short Form. Weekly metabolic equivalent of task (MET-minutes/week) will be calculated to classify physical activity as low, moderate, or high. Higher MET-minutes/week indicate higher physical activity levels. |
