This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of cognitive training exercises versus stretching and strengthening exercises on pain, functional dilatability, and static balance. Participants will be assigned to two groups: a cognitive training group or a stretching and strengthening exercise group. The cognitive training group will perform exercises targeting cognitive and neuromuscular control plus stretching and strengthening exercise , while the control group will perform stretching and strengthing exercises only. Outcome measures will include pain intensity, foot functional disability , and static balance. The results of this study will provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of cognitive training with stretching and strengthing exercises compared to stretching and strengthIng only exercises in improving musculoskeletal function and balance.
