  1. Numbers are frequency counts n/n (percent); median (IQR)
  2. aSummary excluded those who answered ‘Yes’ to ‘exercise (or, wearing insoles), completed as prescribed over the week’; proportions of the following reasons: a. because my symptoms were better; b. I forgot/lack of time; c. because the exercises (orthotics) were too difficult (uncomfortable)/made symptoms worse; and d. other
  3. b‘Strongly agree’ and ‘Agree’ as yes; ‘Not sure’, ‘Disagree’ and ‘Strongly disagree’ as no. NA not applicable, SMA self-management advice
