Brief Summary

Pes planus is caused by the elongation of the intrinsic muscles in the medial arch of the foot, causing the arch to approach the ground or the sole of the foot to touch the ground completely.

Conditions

Pes Planus

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Foot Posture Index

  A widely used method to assess foot posture and classify individuals according to different foot types. Each criterion is scored on a 5-point scale ranging from -2 to +2.

  6 weeks

• Navicular Drop Test

  It is a clinical assessment used to evaluate the degree of foot pronation or flattening of the medial longitudinal arch during weight bearing. It is commonly used to assess foot pronation, especially the vertical displacement of the navicular bone during weight bearing.

  6 weeks

• Biodex Balance System

  It is a computerized balance assessment system widely used in clinical and research settings to assess and improve balance and stability. The Biodex Balance System typically consists of a computerized platform with force sensors, visual feedback display and various training modes. It provides quantitative measurements of balance parameters, allowing accurate assessment and monitoring of progress
