Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study was planned to assess effects on pes planus and femoral anteversion angle of exercise training mixed with play on pre-school children.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Pes planus ( Pes planovalgus) is similar with flatfoot occurs collapse of medial longitudinal arch which is lower than normal range or occurs extra pressure on arch. It is separated two group such congenital (flexible and rigid) and acquired. The etiology of pes planus is that hallux rigidus, plantar calcaneonavicular ligament rupture, collapse of medial longitudinal arch, pathology of ligament and tendon, shortness Achilles tendon and juvenile hallux valgus. The most common causes of pes planus are outgroup of leg muscles (peroneal) spasticity, plantar fasciitis and tibial tendon insufficiency. Symptoms of pes planus are indicated heel pain, gait abnormalities, decreased dorsiflexion range of ankle, plantar ulceration, limited mobility of 1.metatarsophalangeal joint and spasm of peroneal muscle. There is a high prevalence rates among males and occur positive correlation between with pes planus and BMI. Evaluation methods of pes planus are X-ray, heel height, gait analysis and Achilles strain. The most commonly used method are line that medial malleolus, 1st metatarsal head and the navicula is on the same line, and the footprint technique from ink rubber plates. Treatment of pes planus is maintained medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy operation with the transfer of the flexor digitorum longus. Non- invasive treatment methods are given such as peroneal muscles and Achilles stretching exercises. 25 degree angle inverted foot orthoses are commonly used because of increasing stance phasic in treatment. Peroneal neural mobilization, play training and stretching exercises are often used treatment method of pes planus. Main purpose of this study is that assess effects of mixed training program with playing on pes planus and increased femoral anteversion angle in pre-school students.

Pes Planus Group

This group of patients received children with pes planus. It will be applied exercise training mixed with play

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Exercise Training Mixed With Play

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

To assess effects of training program which includes mixed exercises with playing.Study included 90 pre-school children who suffer from pes planus and increased femoral anteversion angle. Demographic data, navicular height, weight-bearing and non-weight bearing of subtalar joint motion, metatarsal width(weight and non-weight), range of hallux valgus,height of foot, tension of Achilles tendon, habits of W standing(hour/day), angle of Quadriceps(Q degree), angle of hip rotation were recorded . Craig Test, foot posture index, Chippaux-Smirak Index(CSI),Beighton hypermobility score, valgus index, thigh foot angle examination were used. CSI measurements were positive correlation with severity of pes planus.

Controlled Group

This group of patients received healthy children.

Group Type OTHER

Controlled

Intervention Type OTHER

First and last measurements will be done. There will be no intervention. Study will include 30 healthy pre-school children. Demographic data, navicular height, weight-bearing and non-weight bearing of subtalar joint motion, metatarsal width(weight and non-weight), range of hallux valgus,height of foot, tension of Achilles tendon, habits of W standing(hour/day), angle of Quadriceps(Q degree), angle of hip rotation were recorded . Craig Test, foot posture index, Chippaux-Smirak index(CSI),Beighton hypermobility score, valgus index, thigh foot angle examination were used.
