Finally, seven articles were included in the current review. It was shown that gamification-based exercise had a significant effect, leading to a reduction in navicular drop (95% CI = \u22121.796 to \u22120.516,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.000) and an increase in balance scores (95% CI = \u22121.647 to \u22120.462,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.000), compared to the passive control groups that did not receive any intervention. However, no significant differences were seen in the Staheli index (95% CI = \u22123.298 to 0.023,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.053). High heterogeneity was noted in the navicular drop test (95% CI = \u22122.412 to \u22120.603,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.001).
