Filter by:Using dynamic plantar pressure data during walking, combined with the FFI scores of adolescents, aids doctors and rehabilitation therapists in conducting more accurate, objective, and scientific evaluations of the functional parameters of the foot for appropriate rehabilitation treatment. Clinical studies on flat feet mainly focus on imaging diagnosis, gait characteristics, orthopedic insole studies, and different surgical treatment schemes related to flat foot injuries. However, few studies have analyzed the dynamic plantar pressure characteristics of flat feet to guide clinical interventions, as well as the correlation between the subjective perception of FFI and objective biomechanical parameter characteristics to analyze the validity of FFI and elucidate the physiological characteristics of foot diseases. Specific purpose of this study Therefore, the purpose of our study was to clarify the reliability and validity of the application of the FFI in flatfoot and the correlation between the FFI and dynamic plantar pressure.
The plantar fascia is a thick, multi-layered, non-elastic fibrous tissue band that extends along the plantar surface of the foot.The configuration of the plantar fascia is generally considered as a dense, longitudinally arranged fiber band divided into medial, central, and lateral components. The most significant functional role of the plantar fascia is to maintain the arch structure of the foot, providing a stable support base while standing and absorbing dynamic reaction forces during walking.Pes planus is a rather general term with many definitions. Staheli described pes planus as a "foot with a broad base of support," commonly known as flatfoot in layman's terms. In a study involving 80 female participants aged 65 and older, 90% of foot deformities observed while standing were identified as pes planus. Generally, pes planus is a condition characterized by excessive pronation of the rear part of the foot and a lowering of the medial longitudinal arch. During the push-off phase of walking, the pronation moment generated by the ground reaction force flattens the arch as the subtalar joint rotation combines. The shift in position in the talus bone causes the navicular bone to drop. The plantar calcaneonavicular ligament tightens, and the tibialis posterior muscle lengthens. Abnormalities in the bones of the foot, dysfunction of the tibialis posterior muscle, Achilles tendon shortening, or muscle weakness can contribute to pes planus. Individuals with pes planus may experience foot and leg pain with exercise, physical activity, and prolonged walking, which can limit their level of physical activity. Research has examined the relationship between pes planus and various physical parameters, and it has been found that one of these parameters, balance, is negatively affected by the presence of pes planus.
The effects of Kinesio-taping and rigid-taping on vertical jump performance have been investigated; however, results remain unclear.
In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of pressing styles and insoles on jumping performances.
The aim of our study is to examine the effect of using kinesiology tape and using it for 8 weeks on Q angle and pes planus on children with cerebral palsy.
The goal of the clinical trial study is to test the effect of the individual complex physiotherapy intervention program in the children actively playing soccer with flatfoot or valgus foot. The aims are: 1. see if the medial longitudinal arch will by actively more higher after the intervention 2. see if the type of the foot will change toward more neutral type after the intervention 3. see if the transfer of the centre of body mass through the foot during the gait will directed in more neutral line after the intervention The participants will undergo clinical assessment of short kinesiology assessment visually in underwear and barefoot. Then Participant will be tested for balance test in narrow stance with open and closed eyes, and single.leg stance with open eyes on the pressure mat. Finally, participant will walking in self-selected normal speed through the gait pressure mat. Eaxh procedure will be measured twice, before the program start and after the 4 weeks when the program finish. Researchers will compare these two measurement for the changes.
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.
Thirty-six subjects randomly distributed between a dry needling intervention group and a control group whose intervention is a non-emission laser. All the subjects will be measured before and after the interventions of each group. The measurements will be made on a pressure platform to record the dynamic footprint variables.
Thirty-six subjects randomly distributed between a pressure release intervention group and a control group whose intervention is a non-emission laser. All the subjects will be measured before and after the interventions of each group. The measurements will be made on a pressure platform to record the stabilometry variables.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of intrinsic strengthening and dynamic balance exercises in patients with flexible pes planus. Forty-five participants aged 18 to 35 years were enrolled in the study, and the first group underwent intrinsic foot muscle strengthening training with short foot exercises (SFE) and used insoles. The second group trained using the dynamic balance board, which promotes dynamic balance and used insoles. The third group used only insoles. The total duration of treatment was 8 weeks/3 days. The degree of foot deformity was assessed with the, medial longitudinal arch (MLA) angle, measurements of subtalar angle and navicular drop test. Foot position assessed using Foot Posture Index (FPI) Static balance was assessed with the Flamingo Balance Test and dynamic balance with the " BOBO Health Platform with Gaming®" device.
