      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Simple randomization is performed using sealed envelopes, in which a box contains 30 envelopes, 15 envelopes labeled A and 15 envelopes labeled B, and patients are asked to choose one envelope. The letter A is placed in the foot orthosis alone group and the letter B is placed in the foot orthosis and leg shortening exercise group, Blinding description: Ultrasound evaluations are done by a person who does not know about the groupings and a statistician who is also blind to the groupings.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Control group: orthosis group alone. The CNC orthosis is scanned and made in static mode through the initial scan of the foot by the Danesh Salar scanner. The full-length orthosis has an internal longitudinal arch and metatarsal pad and is made of semi-hard EVA foam. Participants in both control and intervention groups will receive the orthosis and wear it outdoors for at least 6 hours a day for 8 weeks in walking and sports shoes. The control group does not participate in any ankle and foot exercises. Intervention 2: Intervention group: Intervention group: group of orthosis and exercise together. The participants in the intervention group also receive the orthosis and use it for at least 6 hours a day for 8 weeks in walking and sports shoes, and in addition to the foot orthosis, they do short foot exercise without shoes, insoles and with bare feet in a standing position. It is performed on one leg next to the wall in a position where the index finger is connected to the wall to keep the balance of the body and the knee of the other leg is in flexion. in such a way that they raise the internal longitudinal arch and shorten the length of the leg in the anterior-posterior direction and move the head of the first metatarsal to the heel; Without flexing the fingers. Exercises are repeated daily, twice a day in 3 sets of 5. In each repetition, the arch is held for 5 seconds and there is a 2 minute rest between each set. After one to two weeks of training, if the participants were able to hold the contraction without falling down the navicular tuberosity, the duration of holding will increase from 5 to 10 and the number of sets will increase from 3 to 5 sets.</i_freetext>
