Brief Summary

The prevalence of flexible flat foot was 13.6% in adults a cross-sectional Study (for males-12.8%; for females-14.4%).18-21-year-old Indian adults. This trial aims to compare between the effects of Russian current for tibialis posterior muscle and comprehensive exercise alone in subjects suffering from flexible flat foot on quality of life, ROM, strength of tibialis posterior and foot posture

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • ROM (inversion and eversion).

    Universal goniometer to assess the ROM (inversion and eversion) of the subtalar joint for each patient

    4 weeks

  • Foot Posture Index (FP1-6)

    The FPI-6 is a novel method of rating foot posture using set criteria and a simple scale and is a quick, reliable diagnostic tool.

    4 weeks
