The purpose of the study was to compare the effects of towel curl exercises and short foot exercises on pedobarographic parameters and balance. 91 healthy students (63 females, 28 males) with mean age of 20,65±2,41 years who attend to Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, Faculty of Health Sciences and met the inclusion criteria and volunteered to participate included in this randomized controlled study. Participants were randomly divided into, Short Foot Exercise(n=28), Towel Curl Exercise (n=31) and Control Groups (n=32). Participant's demographic information were recorded, foot number measurement, navicular drop test, metatarsal width measurement, static and dynamic pedobarographic evaluations, and the balance evaluation were performed. Following the initial assessment, participants who included in Short Foot and Towel Curl Exercise Group performed the exercises that they were assigned to under the supervision of a physiotherapist for 4 weeks and no exercise was given to the control group. After the completion of 4 weeks all the initial assessments were repeated in all groups.

Primary | Measuring navicular drop distance | The individual was placed on a stool with the bare foot, hip, knee and ankle flexed 90 degrees with the foot in full contact with the floor and was asked to look at a fixed point opposite. In this position the navicular tubercle was determined with the erasable pen and the navicular height above the ground was marked on an index card. Then, the individual was asked to stand up without changing the position of her/his heels and while standing, the navicular tubercle was again determined and its height above the ground was marked on the index card. The distance between the navicular heights marked on the index card in the sitting and standing positions was measured with the help of the INSIZE® 1108-200 digital caliper and recorded as navicular drop distance in mm. | 3 minutes | |
Primary | Measuring metatarsal width | Metatarsal width was recorded by measuring the extreme distance between the medial soft tissue line at the first metatarsal head level and the lateral soft tissue line at the fifth metatarsal head level. It was measured using the INSIZE® 1108-200 digital caliper for both feet while giving equal weight to both lower extremities in the sitting position at 90 degrees flexion of the hip, knee and ankle joints and giving equal weight to both lower extremities in the standing position. Metatarsal width in sitting and standing positions were recorded and the difference between them was calculated and recorded as the amount of metatarsal enlargement in mm. | 3 minutes | |
Primary | Pedobarographic evaluation | Diagnostic Support Electronic Baropodometer and Milletrix software (DIASU®, Italy) were used for static and dynamic pedobarographic measurements to evaluate foot plantar pressure distrubution. Static measurements were made with the patient standing on a platform with pressure sensor, with two bare feet, in a loose standing position, looking at a fixed point opposite. The dynamic measurements were made after the individuals performed a trial walk on the platform once. Individuals were asked to walk self- selected speed and pattern. The average values of 4 dynamic measurements were taken for both foot and the results were recorded. | 10 minutes | |
Primary | Balance evaluation | Static and dynamic balances of individuals on double and single legs were evaluated using SportKAT® Model 650-TS, LLC, USA. The monitor was positioned 130 cm forward and at the eye level of the subject. Individuals standing on the platform whose pressure was set to 6 PSI and they were asked to position their arms across the shoulders. The test was canceled and repeated in the event that individuals arms were distorted or they fall off the platform. | 10 minutes | |
Secondary | Foot size | Foot size was measured using ruler which is proper for Turkey and European standarts. | 1 minute |
