These task conditions differed in the kind of functional evaluation participants had to perform over objects, but did not vary in the objects themselves.
The culture of innovation in many AAS forms of life would suggest that behaviours supporting the capacity to explore new environments (e.g. urban skiing) and creative movement solutions (e.g. 'tricks' in skateboarding) are particularly functional to participants.
Before the functional task, participants were removed from the scanner for a break if necessary.
Pain related functional impairment: Participants were asked if the pain had resulted in reduced activity during leisure time (yes/no).
In addition to self-reported foot pain and functional limitation, participants with HV in our study presented with hallux plantarflexion and abduction weakness and increased mediolateral postural sway.

In terms of functional change, participants in the ACT group reported significantly less social disruption from their symptoms compared to controls.
In the functional localizer participants were asked to press any button on the response box when they detected a consecutive repetition of a word (1-back task).
