Table 5 Rearfoot postural alignment of the participants.
| Control Group | Squash Group | P value1 | P value2 | P value3 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Left foot (degrees) | 1.08±1.82 | 2.63±3.42 | 0.000 | 0.647 | 0.983 |
| Right foot (degrees) | 1.22±1.72 | 2.57±3.46 | 0.000 | – | – |
| The static rearfoot postural alignment of both feet are represented as the calcaneal angles (°) and the values are given as mean±SD. Statistical significances of values were determined by the independent sample test between the control (n=33) and squash group (n=26). values were determined between the feet within the control group, and values were determined between the feet within the squash group. | |||||
