Detailed Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of a structured physiotherapy and rehabilitation-based exercise program on clinical and functional parameters in a patient diagnosed with melorheostosis. This study specifically aims to assess the effects of a structured physiotherapy and rehabilitation-based intervention program, including patient education and therapeutic exercise, on lower extremity functional parameters, muscle strength, balance, and quality of life in a patient with melorheostosis. The main hypotheses: H0: A structured physiotherapy and rehabilitation-based exercise program has no effect on improvement in clinical and functional evaluation parameters in a patient with melorheostosis. H1: A structured physiotherapy and rehabilitation-based exercise program leads to improvement in clinical and functional evaluation parameters in a patient with melorheostosis.

Timeline
Arms & Interventions
The target population of the study consists of a 24-year-old female case diagnosed with melorheostosis by a relevant physician, who voluntarily meets the inclusion criteria. The study is designed as a single-case report and aims to evaluate the clinical and functional characteristics of the case. The participant is actively working as a physiotherapist in her professional life. Patient will receive patient education in addition to a structured exercise program. The exercise program will include progressive strengthening, flexibility, and balance-based exercises. Patient education will be delivered by targeting topics that encompass all components of the ICF framework. In addition, diaphragmatic breathing will be taught to patients prior to the exercise program.
Interventions

Patient education will be delivered by targeting topics that encompass all components of the ICF framework. In addition, diaphragmatic breathing will be taught to patients prior to the exercise program. The exercise program will be conducted three times per week for 8 weeks. Baseline assessments will be performed before the intervention, and post-intervention assessments will be repeated after completion of the program. Furthermore, evaluations will be conducted again during a 6-month follow-up period.
