An observational study in Back Pain and Knee Osteoarthritis, sponsored by Istanbul Medipol University Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to participants aged 45 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-07-11.
Sponsored by Istanbul Medipol University Hospital · Observational
Foot; It is a terminal joint that opposes external resistance in the lower kinetic chain. It plays a primary role in weight transfer and ground response between the body and the ground.
To investigate the extent to which foot posture affects balance and foot function in different disease groups. The amount of studies examining the effect of the postural structure of the foot and balance seen in different disease groups in the literature is insufficient.
2,388 studies on the registry are indexed under Back Pain; 282 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 132 is above the median of 101 across 362 observational studies indexed under Back Pain.

To evaluate the foot postures and balances of individuals with knee osteoarthritis and nonspecific low back pain.
Inclusion criteria;
Navicular Drop Test
The distance between the tubercle of the navicular, which is the attachment of the tibialis posterior muscle, and the ground, was measured in this position by asking each participant to give full weight to their bare feet. The distance between the navicular tubercle and the ground was measured without any weight on the feet in the subtalar neutral position. The difference between this distance and the amount of navicular height was recorded as navicular drop (millimetres).
Time frame: one day
Foot Posture Index
Foot Posture consists of palpation of 6 regions. Each criterion is evaluated between -2 and +2 and this result is noted. Positive values indicate pronation, negative values indicate supination.
Time frame: one day
Y Balance Test
The leg lengths of all individuals are measured bilaterally. While measuring, individuals are asked to lie in their anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral directions. Each of the participants is informed before the measurement. Measurements were made in both legs and will be repeated 3 times. When calculating the total score, the values in centimeters of the 3 directions are added. Divide by the product of the length of the leg by 3 and multiply the result by 100 to reach the percentile.
Time frame: one day
Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire
It includes 1 item about pain and 9 items about activities of daily living. Each item is measured on a 6-point rank scale between 0 and 5 points according to the scenarios it contains. At the end of the survey, scores are summed up and a high score means loss of disability.
Time frame: one day
Western Ontario and MacMaster (WOMAC)
Western Ontario and MacMaster (WOMAC) is evaluated by dividing it into three groups as pain, stiffness and physical function, consisting of a total of 24 questions used in the evaluation of lower extremity OA. The total WOMAC score is obtained by summing up all the values by evaluating these three titles separately. At the end of the questionnaire, scores are summed up and a high score means loss of disability.
