Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of intrinsic strengthening and dynamic balance exercises in patients with flexible pes planus. Forty-five participants aged 18 to 35 years were enrolled in the study, and the first group underwent intrinsic foot muscle strengthening training with short foot exercises (SFE) and used insoles. The second group trained using the dynamic balance board, which promotes dynamic balance and used insoles. The third group used only insoles. The total duration of treatment was 8 weeks/3 days. The degree of foot deformity was assessed with the, medial longitudinal arch (MLA) angle, measurements of subtalar angle and navicular drop test. Foot position assessed using Foot Posture Index (FPI) Static balance was assessed with the Flamingo Balance Test and dynamic balance with the " BOBO Health Platform with Gaming®" device.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Dynamic Balance performance

  Dynamic balance was assessed using the BOBO Gaming Health Platform. With this system, which acts as a computerized strength platform, there are assessment and treatment phases. The individual was performed with the foot being tested on 2 sides of the platform. In all these evaluations, parameters related to body balance were analyzed. It gives performance scores in terms of percent.

  0-8 week

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Foot Posture Index Score

  0-8 week

• Subtalar angle

  0-8 week

• Static Balance Assessment

  0-8 week

• Angle of Medial longitudinal Arch

  0-8 week
