Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Numeric pain scale
used as pain measurement tool to measure intensity of pain with 0 to 10 points. 0 Indicates no pain while 10 indicates severe pain
Foot and ankle disability index
Foot and ankle disability index is an area of explicit self-report of capacity with 2 components to evaluate disability identified with explicit conditions. The index was first portrayed in 1999 by Martin they survey impairments of everyday living
