Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Thirty women were selected purposively and conveniently with the approval of an orthopedic specialist based on the inclusion criteria and were placed in three groups and randomly and equally divided into two intervention groups and a control group. In order to randomly assign subjects to the intervention and control groups, a number was assigned to each subject, and the numbers were randomly divided between the three groups using a random number table. In order to conceal the numbers in each group, they were written on paper, and each was kept in a separate opaque sealed envelope. Each subject was asked to choose one of the envelopes and was placed in one of the groups based on the number.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
In order not to influence the test method and results, the experimenter was kept blind to which group (intervention or control) the subjects were in, and the subjects also expressed their consent to participate in a study by being fully informed about the research and filling out a consent form.
