Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Since those with chronic back pain, knee pain, and hip pain tended to have problems with ankle alignment in general, we used a gait survey to verify the degree of influence on the human body when ankle alignment is problematic, and to confirm the effectiveness of adjusting ankle alignment.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

The effective area at the time of ground contact during walking in the truss mechanism and windlass mechanism, ankle joint dorsiflexion, walking speed, and stride length during a 5 m walk of a person with ankle malalignment are measured and evaluated before and after ankle alignment adjustment, respectively. The evaluation and measurement days will be conducted during one day each. The period until the end of the test shall be one month.

Behavior,custom Maneuver

Interventions/Control_1

Patients with ankle malalignment were asked to walk 5 m without adjustment, and after walking, they were asked to make heel contact, and ankle joint dorsiflexion, stride length, and 5 m walking time were measured.

Interventions/Control_2

Those with ankle malalignment were asked to walk 5 m after the alignment was adjusted, and to measure ankle dorsiflexion, stride length, and 5 m walking time after walking with heel contact.

Interventions/Control_3

To measure the effective range of the truss mechanism and windlass mechanism on the printed area by applying ink to the sole of a person with ankle joint malalignment and anterior lateral deviation of the talus (oversupination), and to compare the results with those of a person with normal gait (0 degree forefoot foot angle).

Interventions/Control_4

To measure the effective range of the truss mechanism and windlass mechanism on the printed area by applying ink to the sole of a person with ankle joint malalignment and anterior lateral deviation of the talus (overpronation), and to compare the results with those of a person with normal gait (0 degree forefoot foot angle).

Gender

Male and Female

Key inclusion criteria

Persons with ankle joint malalignment

Key exclusion criteria

Gender, height and weight differences, and other underlying diseases will not be taken into account, and the focus will be on ankle malalignment. We will ethically exclude cases where there is a compliance problem, where the purpose of the study is explained to the subjects and they fully understand the study, but there are subjects who do not understand the study, or who are judged to be unsuitable for the study due to their physical condition.
