Interventions
Plantar Vibration
The patients in the study group will receive plantar vibration intervention with a frequency of 100 Hz on the affected plantar region for 30 minutes each day over 3 consecutive days.
Placebo Plantar Vibration
Participants in the placebo group will undergo the same procedure as the experimental group, including session duration and conventional rehabilitation, but the vibration device will not make contact with the plantar surface of the foot. The intervention will be delivered for 30 minutes per day over three consecutive days, with the device operating at 100 Hz.
