Filter by:Pes planus is a common foot problem since childhood, which may include loss of height of the medial longitudinal arch, which is the most important arch supporting the foot, valgus of the hindfoot, and abduction of the midfoot relative to the hindfoot. Muscle shortness, increased joint laxity with obesity, W-shaped sitting, male gender and genetic background are among the factors that can increase the incidence and severity of pes planus in the pediatric population. It has been shown in different studies that pes planus is carried into adulthood at a rate of 4-23%. It is known that there is oxygen consumption from the body during muscle contraction. For this reason, it has been shown in the literature that muscle oxygenation is better and the performance of the individual is better in exercises combined with breathing exercises in the exercise program. Therefore, the investigators hypothesized whether foot shortening exercises combined with breathing would have an effect on muscular activation during foot shortening exercises. It is seen that there is a limited number of studies in the literature evaluating the effect of breathing exercises and combined foot exercises on the activation of the muscles around the feet. For this reason, the aim of this study is to examine the effect of combined respiratory foot shortening exercises on the muscular activations of the foot circumference in individuals with flat feet. Two-way repeated analyses of variance will use to determine the statistical significance of Abductor Hallucis Longus, Tibialis Anterior, and Peroneus Longus electromyography activity. Participants: Ten participants with pes planus.The participants will perform Short Foot Exercises with and without respiratory exercises in sitting and standing positions. Main Outcome Measures: Surface electromyography will use to measure the activity of the Abductor Hallucis Longus, Tibialis anterior, Peroneus Longus. Respiratory exercises may be an effective method for reducing compensatory Tibialis Anterior activity and increasing Abductor Hallucis Longus muscle activity during Short Foot Exercises for individuals with pes planus.
Pesplanus, commonly known as 'flatfoot,' is a common pathomechanical condition characterized by a lowered medial longitudinal arch (MLA) and exaggerated pronation. There are two general types of flatfoot : flexible flatfoot and rigid flatfoot Flexible flatfoot is the most common form of flat foot. In adult population, it was reported that prevalence of flexible flatfeet is 13.6%. It has been proved that there is static and dynamic balance deficit in the participants with flatfeet. The extrinsic muscles as posterior tibialis (TP) ) and intrinsic muscles as abductor hallucis (AbdH) act as active subsystem support for the MLA during weight-bearing, standing, and walking. Abnormal alignment of the foot may cause stretch weakness of the foot muscles by elongating beyond the neutral physiological resting position. leading to musculoskeletal dysfunction and overuse injuries. Insoles can assist in maintaining normal alignment of the foot, improve balance as it supports MLA which is essential to stabilize postural sway, they widen the contact surface of the sole of the foot improving stability.
Obesity is one of the main factors that contribute to an acquired flat foot deformity which in turn impairs the balance strategies. The purpose of the current study was to compare the effect of plyometric exercises with flatfoot corrective exercise on balance, foot posture, and functional mobility in obese children with flexible flatfoot.
The use of bio-integrative implants in orthopedic surgery is growing exponentially. As many biomechanical and histological studies were able to sustain its structural and biological properties, few clinical studies are available to support its advantages, such as good osteosynthesis, lower rates of removal, and diminished implant-related artifact in imaging studies. This information is vital to providers when choosing the proper material and planning postoperative treatment. This trial intends to test the capacity of the bioabsorbable screws in reaching the same clinical and radiographical outcomes of the current metallic screws.
The aim of our study is to compare the effect of Morton's neuroma in feet with pes planus and pes cavus on foot pressure and temporal and spatial gait parameters.
"Idiopathic flat foot is a common condition in children and adolescents. After loading, the heel is adjusted in valgus, the medial longitudinal arch of the foot flattens, and the forefoot is positioned at abducted. Such deformation can be classified as flexible or rigid. A lowered flat foot arch is an undesirable feature. Additional factors such as e.g. abnormal body weight, may have impact on the shape of medial longitudinal arch. Increasing evidence suggests that excess weight is inextricably linked to flatfoot and postural stability. In connection with consequences, disorders of the muscles responsible for stabilizing the arches of the foot are noticed. The mobility and stability of the foot arches is controlled by the internal and external muscles of the foot, but the former are often overlooked in therapy. Short foot exercises are recommended as an improvement in foot arch parameters. The participants will take part in the research with the written consent of their parents or legal guardians. The results will be used anonymously for scientific publications."
This investigation aims to investigate the frequency of pes planus and posterior tibial tendon dysfunction in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
This study aimed to present the influence of unilateral and bilateral flat foot on coronal spinopelvic alignment in asymptomatic young healthy males. It will be carried out by examining the medical reports of individuals who apply to the National Health Board to work in positions requiring physical fitness between January 2018 and January 2019. Plain radiographies of the feet, pelvis, and spine will be analyzed. Calcaneal pitch angle (CPA) for flat foot, pelvic obliquity (PO), and Cobb angle (CA) for spinal asymmetry will be measured. After all analyzes were completed, participants will be divided into 2 groups as unilateral (UniFF) or bilateral (BiFF) flat foot, depending on the CPA measurements and will be compared.
Foot core training is very important for the intrinsic muscles of the foot, but it is often neglected in exercise programs given to individuals with pes planus. The aim of our study is to reveal the effects of foot core training, which will be added to the exercise program routinely given to individuals with asymptomatic flexible pes planus, on walking, muscular activations, balance and lower extremity functional performance with objective, evidence based results.
The purpose of the current work is to determine the prevalence of calf muscle tightness in asymptomatic flat foot subjects.
