IRCT20260620069887N4 IRCT 2026-07-14 Bu Ali Sina University Effect of Short-foot training on Balance, proprioception, and plantar pressures in Runners with Shin Pain The effect of short-foot training on balance, proprioception, and plantar pressures in runners with medial tibial stress syndrome 2026-07-25 anticipated 30 Recruiting https://irct.ir/trial/91151 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Participants will be allocated using simple randomization at the individual level. After confirming eligibility, obtaining written informed consent, and completing the baseline assessments, each participant will be assigned a unique study identification number according to the order of enrollment. The random allocation sequence will then be generated using Random Number Generator software based on computer-generated random numbers. Participants will be assigned sequentially according to the generated randomization list in a 1:1 ratio to either the football-specific Sportmetric training group or the control group. Stratified randomization will not be applied, and allocation concealment will not be performed, Blinding description: This study will be conducted as a single-blind trial. The outcome assessor will be blinded to group allocation and will perform all baseline and post-intervention assessments without knowledge of participants' group assignments. Due to the nature of the intervention, participants and the researcher responsible for delivering the exercises cannot be blinded. N/A Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS). Intervention 1: Intervention group: Short-foot training, Participants in this group will perform a Short-Foot Exercise program for 6 weeks, three sessions per week, with each session lasting 30–45 minutes under the supervision of the researcher. The program includes exercises to activate and strengthen the intrinsic foot muscles, with progressive advancement from sitting to standing, single-leg stance, and unstable surface exercises. Intervention 2: Control group: No Intervention. Undecided - It is not yet known if there will be a plan to make this available Justification or reason for indecision in sharing IPD is No more Information

Control group: No Intervention Balance. Timepoint: Before the intervention begins, One day after the end of the intervention. Method of measurement: Dynamic balance is measured using the Y Balance Test based on the normalized maximum reach distance in the anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral directions. Proprioception. Timepoint: Before the intervention begins, One day after the end of the intervention. Method of measurement: Ankle proprioception is measured using the Joint Position Reproduction Test with a universal goniometer based on the absolute joint position reproduction error. Plantar pressures. Timepoint: Before the intervention begins, One day after the end of the intervention. Method of measurement: Plantar pressure is measured using the Footscan system based on plantar pressure distribution parameters.
