Brief Summary

This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of pes planus on physical activity level, exercise capacity and quality of life in young adults. In the study, various evaluations and questionnaires will be applied to the participants by dividing them into two groups by performing the navicular drop test. In the study, questionnaires and applications such as Digital dynamometer measurements, Foot Function Index (AFI), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), 6 Minute Walk test, blood pressure, heart rate, saturation measurements, Modified Borg Scale and SF-36 quality of life questionnaire will be used.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of pes planus on physical activity level, exercise capacity and quality of life in young adults. There are studies examining the effects of pes planus on physical fitness, quality of life, balance and pain levels. However, there are no studies evaluating the effect of pes planus on exercise capacity and physical activity level. It will enable us to have information about its capacity and its effect on quality of life and to obtain workable data. Thanks to these data, the orientation towards treatment options for the negative effects of pes planus will increase. After the approval of the ethics committee, 32 participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. The participants will be divided into two groups, 16 with pes planus and 16 without pes planus, by performing the navicular drop test. The foot muscle strength of the participants will be measured with a digital muscle strength device (Lafayette Manual Muscle). The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) will be used for the physical activity level of the participants, the 6-minute walking test for the exercise capacity, the SF-36 quality of life questionnaire for the quality of life, and the Foot Function Index (AFI) for the foot functional status. Heart rate, blood pressure, borg value and oxyhemoglobin value will be measured before and after the 6-minute walking test to be performed on the participants. According to these measurements, the physical activity levels, exercise capacities and quality of life of the participants in both groups will be compared.
