Brief Summary

Obesity is one of the main factors that contribute to an acquired flat foot deformity which in turn impairs the balance strategies. The purpose of the current study was to compare the effect of plyometric exercises with flatfoot corrective exercise on balance, foot posture, and functional mobility in obese children with flexible flatfoot.

Conditions

Flat Feet

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Foot posture

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 7 Years - 11 Years
• Gender Eligibility Details: A sample of 47 male children participated in the current study without having female participants because of the cultural perspective.
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17)

You may qualify if:

• Body mass index percentile equal to or greater than the 95th percentile
• All had no previous history of strength or balance training or involvement in competitive sports emphasizing muscular strength or balance.
• All participants had balance deficiency and mobile flat foot.

You may not qualify if:

• Previous injury to the lower limb required medical care.
• Confounding conditions, such as a deformity of or surgery in the lower limb.
• visual impairment, or neuromuscular disorders.
• engagement in obesity treatment programs, three months prior to the study.

Model Details: A Pretest-posttest control group design was used. A sample of 47 male children participated in the current study. After gathering the baseline measurements, the participants were randomly assigned into three groups: experimental group I, (EGI) contained 16 participants, experimental group II (EGII) contained 16 participants, and control group, (CG) contained 15. The stratification was done using sealed envelopes. The children were not aware of their group.
