Active clinical trials for "Flatfoot"

The aim is to compare the effects of intrinsic foot muscles and tibialis posterior strengthening exercise, and customized arch support insoles on foot posture, plantar force distribution, and balance in individuals with flexible pes planus.

The aim of present study is to compare the effects of 3D printing customized insoles using different thermoplastic materials on functional flatfoot patients' foot function and biomechanics

Inverted orthosis is a type of rigid foot orthosis that was designed to aid in controlling high degrees of foot pronation. It is essential to administer patients foot orthoses with different inverted angles, with higher angles prescribed when greater reduction of foot pronation is indicated. However, there is shortage of clinical knowledge regarding the inverted angle in terms of biomechanical changes. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of different inverted angles of foot orthoses on the walking kinematics in females with flexible flatfeet.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of 3D printed insoles versus prefabricated insoles in otherwise healthy subjects with flatfoot condition. The main question it aims to answer is: If 3D printed insoles are better in terms of fit, weight, durability, comfort, and effectiveness compared to prefabricated insoles. If 3D printed insoles are better in terms of reducing pain compared to prefabricated insoles. Participants will be divided in two groups. One group will receive 3D printed insoles and other group will wear prefabricated insoles for four weeks. After four weeks, researchers will record their feedback about their insoles which will help them to compare the two insoles.

This study aims to determine comparative effects of low dye taping technique and temporary felt insoles on pain and disability in children with pes planus.

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.

The effects of Kinesio-taping and rigid-taping on vertical jump performance have been investigated; however, results remain unclear.

Down syndrome (DS) is a common chromosomal pediatric disorder and accounts for approximately 8 % of all congenital anomalies. Children with DS experience delays in Cognitive, Physical, Speech and Language development. Hypotonity and laxity that is part of its features causes delay on motor acquisition. Furthermore it causes musculoskeletal issues and lower extremity malalignment resulting in inefficient and abnormal pattern of movement compromising locomotion and day to day functions therefore, problems for the population further aggravates. Combined effects of these factors causes a high level of stress on foot as it provides the foundation for whole body therefore, individuals with Down syndrome are at risk for foot alignment problems. Pes planus being the most common amongst them and accounts for 91% of the total DS patients diagnosed. Pes planus causes alteration in foot kinetics and kinematics that not only interferes significantly with normal daily life activities as balance and gait but also increases the risk of musculoskeletal injuries. Hence researchers have shown interest in addressing this condition for the effective management of DS population. Conventional treatment approach are the use of insoles, foot orthosis and arch taping however, they fail to produce residual effect. Hence the present study is to determine the role of foot muscles exercises in Down Syndrome having pes planus since its effects are positively recorded in normal population.

The study was planned to assess effects on pes planus and femoral anteversion angle of exercise training mixed with play on pre-school children.

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.
