Brief Summary

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

Our primary aim is to compare diaphragm function (resting thickness, activity/resting thickness ratio indicating contractility), postural control, and plantar pressure between individuals with pes planus and healthy controls without pes planus.

Detailed Description

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

Pes planus deformity, by causing pronation during standing, affects the biomechanics of the lower extremities. Improper foot positioning can lead to changes in load distribution under the sole, and consequently, abnormal tensions in the soft tissues of the feet can spread to the upper body parts through the myofascial system. In light of all this information, our primary aim is to examine the diaphragm function and thickness in individuals with pes planus deformity and healthy individuals, and to investigate the relationship between diaphragm thickness and balance. Additionally, our secondary aim is to evaluate the relationship between pes planus, diaphragm thickness, and balance.

Study Groups

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

People with pes planus

Individuals with pes planus that we identified according to the inclusion criteria will be evaluated in this group.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Determination of Foot Deformity Level

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

One of the methods used in our study to determine the presence and degree of pes planus is the navicular drop test.

Foot Function Index

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Evaluation of Foot Function

UFAA-International Physical Activity Questionnaire

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

To determination of physical activity level.

Diaphragm ultrasound measurements

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Rehabilitative ultrasound imaging is a method frequently used by physiotherapists to assess muscle function.

NeuruCom Balance Master Balnce and Performans Test

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Balance master will be used for postural stability, static and dynamic balance measurements.

Plantar Pressure Assessment

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

When assessing plantar pressure, postural control will be evaluated statically or dynamically, through examination of the behavior of the center of plantar pressure (COP).

Healthy People

Volunteer individuals without pes planus who meet the inclusion criteria will be evaluated for comparison in this group
