Trial Outcomes & Findings for Comparison of Braces for Treatment of Sever's Disease (NCT NCT03494647)

NCT ID: NCT03494647

Last Updated: 2022-05-25

Results Overview

The OxAFQ-C is used to measure subjective well-being for child patients (aged 5-16) affected by foot and ankle conditions using issues that are considered important to children. There are three domains to the OxAFQ-C: physical, school and play, and emotional well-being. The investigators will calculate the difference in OxAFQ-C Scores which range from 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating better functioning and higher well-being.
