Brief Summary

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

Virtual reality exercises have become increasingly popular in recent years. After the increase in usage areas in daily life, its use in healthcare has become widespread. Flatfoot is one of the orthopedic problems with high prevalence, especially in young individuals. In the literature, conservative treatment methods of flat soles are mentioned as exercise, shoe modifications, and orthotic methods. In the study, it is planned to investigate whether individuals with flat-footed virtual reality exercises contribute to conservative treatment.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of virtual reality exercises on individuals with pes planus.

Detailed Description

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