Brief Summary

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

Purpose: It is aimed to evaluate the effect of structured exercise, wii-based exergame and wii-based serious game exercise protocols on functional parameters in individuals with pes planus. Method: 69 individuals with Pes Planus between the ages of 18-25 who met the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. Pedobarographic analysis, navicular drop test, flexibility, balance, femoral anteversion and lower extremity muscle strength measurements will be performed on the participants before and after the treatment. In addition, demographic information of individuals will be recorded through a survey. After the initial evaluation, participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. All subjects participating in the study will be treated under the supervision of a specialist physiotherapist for a total of 18 sessions, 3 days a week for 6 weeks, 40 minutes each session. Structured exercise group; short foot exercise, towel curl exercise, toe walking, heel walking, tandem walking, eccentric gastrosoleus stretching at the edge of the stairs, collecting objects from the ground with the toes, balance exercises on one foot will be performed. Penguin Slide, Tightrople Tension, Tilt Table, Soccer Heading and Balance Bubble games, which are balance games of the Nintendo wii game console, will be played for the Wii-based exergame group for 8 minutes each and a total of 40 minutes per session. For Wii-based serious game group, 3 games, Balance Surf, Balance Adventure and Balance Maze, which are among the balance games included in the Becure Balance System that works integrated with the Wii Balance Board, will be played for 40 minutes each session under the supervision of an expert physiotherapist. After the treatment, all measurements will be repeated, the difference between before and after treatment and the superiority of different treatment protocols will be tried to be determined.

Structured Pes Planus Exercise Group

23 individuals will be included in this group. Structured pes planus exercise group; short foot exercise, towel picking exercise, toe walking, heel walking, tandem walking, eccentric gastrosoleus stretching at the edge of the stairs, picking objects from the ground with the toes, balance exercises on one foot. The purpose of all these exercises; The aim is to increase the medial longitudinal arch by contracting the intrinsic muscles of the foot, and to improve the balance at the same time. Walking exercises will be performed in the form of 10 meters and 10 rounds, other exercises will be performed with 30 repetitions for both feet and the whole session will be 40 minutes in total.

Wii Based Serious Game Group

23 individuals will be included in this group. The lower extremity strengthening and balance exercises within the Becure Balance System, developed in cooperation with the Physiotherapist, Academician and Engineer, will be performed by the Wii-based serious game group through the Wii Balance Board. Three games, Balance Surf, Balance Adventure and Balance Maze, which are among the balance games within the Becure Balance System application, will be played for 40 minutes in each session under the supervision of an expert physiotherapist (executive). The Wii Balance Board will be connected via Bluetooth from the menu in the Becure application. Then the Person will stand on the Balance Board and transfer weight in four directions in line with the instructions of the game on the screen.
