Results: Before using carbon insoles; In the first measurement, 2nd and 6th month VAS evaluations (p<0.001), dynamic pedobarographic measurement analyzes (p<0.05), other static pedobarographic measurement analyzes except the percentage of weight on the right and left feet (p<0.05) statistically significant difference was obtained. A statistically significant change was found in all subtitles of quality of life except social function (p<0.05).
