Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week foot and ankle strengthening program can improve physical function and quality of life in menopausal women aged 45 to 65. About 70 women will be randomly assigned to either the exercise program or their usual activities. The program includes one supervised session and four home sessions per week, focusing on strength, balance, and walking.
