View clinical trials related to Pes Planus.
Filter by:Pes planus is caused by the elongation of the intrinsic muscles in the medial arch of the foot, causing the arch to approach the ground or the sole of the foot to touch the ground completely.
.Pes planus; It can be defined as the valgus of the hindfoot while loading the foot, the disappearance of the medial longitudinal arch in the midfoot, and the supination of the forefoot relative to the hindfoot. It may also occur due to the fact that the medial longitudinal arch in the foot is lower than the required height according to the anatomical position. The parts of the foot that touch the ground are anatomically healthy in a person; They are the heads of the calcaneus tuberositas calcanei on the back of the foot and the 5 metatarsal bones on the front of the foot. In the standing position, 25% of our body weight is on the tuber calcanei, while 25% is on the 5 metatarsal bones. In individuals with pes planus, convergence of the sole of the midfoot to the ground may even result in the sole of the midfoot touching the ground at its advanced levels. It is one of the common foot deformities.
Introduction: Pes planus is a deformity that affects the foot-ankle muscle complex as well as passive components of the foot such as bones and ligaments. Various approaches such as taping methods and exercise training are being investigated in the treatment of pes planus. The effect of the applied methods and their superiority over each other are still unclear. The effect of banding methods varies according to the band type and technique. Exercise methods currently focus on the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the foot. Pedobarographic evaluations are also performed in addition to clinical evaluations to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments. Objective: It is planned to compare the effects of reinforced low-dye taping method, which is one of the rigid taping techniques used in the treatment of pes planus, and exercise training on foot plantar pressure, navicular drop and foot posture. Material and method: 34 individuals with pes planus between the ages of 18-25 will be included in the study, which was designed as a single-blind randomized study. The universe of our study will be Lokman Hekim University Faculty of Health Sciences and Institute of Health Sciences. The whole universe will be tried to be reached and individuals who meet the inclusion criteria will be selected from the relevant universe. Consent form will be obtained from individuals who are deemed eligible to participate in the study. Pes planus evaluation; It will be done using the navicular drop test and the foot posture index. In order for the physical activity levels of the groups to be homogeneous, after stratified sampling, individuals will be randomly assigned to the exercise groups by taping and exercise with the closed envelope method. Evaluations will be made to each group at the beginning, at the eighth and twelfth week. Static evaluation of the foot will be made using navicular drop and foot posture index, and pedobarographic analysis will be done using a foot analyzer. Conclusion: The effects of taping and exercise training on foot static and plantar pressure measurements will be interpreted.
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.
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 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.
Pes planus is a foot deformity characterized by a low medial longitudinal arch. It is more common in young adults. With low arch, tension occurs in the plantar fascia. Fascia and soft tissue loading may lead to different musculoskeletal problems such as plantar fasciitis, medial tibial stress syndrome, patellofemoral disorders and back pain. In addition, pes planus can affect individuals' activities of daily living, productivity in occupational settings, and injury risk and performance in sports. Treatment of pes planus includes strengthening, stretching, taping and orthotics for the foot muscles. Among these applications, strengthening of the foot core muscles is one of the most common and effective methods. By strengthening the foot core muscles, it is aimed to reduce the effect of the kinetic chain. Pes planus is a postural deformity that affects the kinetic and fascial chain, but the treatment program is usually planned regionally. With fascial continuity and fascial conduction, the tension on the plantar fascia in pes planus affects the gastro-soleus, peroneus longus and brevis, hamstring muscles, iliotibial band and thoracolumbar fascia. Stretching of the plantar fascia, which is included in current treatment programs, has only a local effect and thus cannot prevent fascial chain involvement. Myofascial release, one of the methods used to reduce the tension in the fascia, has been used frequently in recent years. Myofascial release is performed with methods such as manual, foam roller and instrument assisted release. Foam roller (cylinder foam) is a practical myofascial release method that can be self-applied by the individual. In addition to strengthening the intrinsic muscles of the foot in individuals with pes planus, it has been reported that fascial chain involvement should also be taken into consideration due to the tension in the plantar fascia with low arch. This study was planned to investigate the effect of myofascial release methods on lower extremity performance in addition to foot core exercises used effectively in the treatment of pes planus.
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.
