Brief Summary

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

Foot core training is very important for the intrinsic muscles of the foot, but it is often neglected in exercise programs given to individuals with pes planus. The aim of our study is to reveal the effects of foot core training, which will be added to the exercise program routinely given to individuals with asymptomatic flexible pes planus, on walking, muscular activations, balance and lower extremity functional performance with objective, evidence based results.

Detailed Description

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

This study is a randomized controlled study and will be carried out on volunteer individuals with asymptomatic flexible pes planus aged between 18-25, studying at Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University. Persons meeting the inclusion criteria will be determined by the specialist physiotherapist. Surface electromyography (sEMG) measurements will be made by a doctorate physiotherapist. Other evaluations will be made by a specialist physiotherapist. Individuals who meet the inclusion criteria, who volunteered to participate in the study and signed the consent sheet will be randomly divided into two groups, the control group and the foot core group. Individuals with initial evaluations will be followed up in an exercise program planned for 8 weeks. The control group will be given exercises to strengthen the weakened muscles, stretch the shortened structures and increase proprioception. Foot core training will be given to the study group in addition to the exercises given to the control group. Before and after exercise, the subjects will be assessed with navicular height measurement, muscle activation evaluation, evaluation of walking parameters, functional lower extremity performance evaluation and balance evaluation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control grup

All individuals participating in the study will be taught the exercises given to strengthen weakened muscles, stretch shortened structures and increase proprioception by the physiotherapist and will be asked to do these exercises at least twice a day for 8 weeks.

The home program will be followed by the exercise daily form.
