Brief Summary

The purpose of the current work is to determine the prevalence of calf muscle tightness in asymptomatic flat foot subjects.

Conditions

Flat Feet

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• tightness of the calf muscle

  measuring of ankle dorsi flexion range of motion with knee extension and with knee flexion in flat foot subjects with navicular drop more than 1 cm

  3 months

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 20 Years - 40 Years
• Sex: all
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Subjects with flexible flat foot aged between 20 and 40 years old . They should have navicular drop more than 10 mm and their body mass index is between 18.5 kg/m2 to 29.9 kg/m2.

You may qualify if:

• Subjects should have flexible flat foot.
• Age between 20 and 40 years.
• Navicular drop of more than 10 mm.
• Body Mass Index from 18.5 kg/m2 to 29.9 kg/m2.
• Subjects will sign the written consent form after the aim and methods of the study are explained clearly.

You may not qualify if:

• Subjects with history of foot and ankle surgery, trauma, fracture or dislocation.
• Subjects with congenital deformities in the ankle and foot.
• Subjects with systemic or neurologic diseases that could affect lower extremity biomechanics.
