PLAIN-LANGUAGE RESULT

Short-foot exercise may change selected posture measures, but the review calls for larger samples and highlights intervention duration as an important source of variation.

This summary is educational. It does not tell you whether a particular intervention is right for your symptoms or circumstances.
