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.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change in Balance | The Y balance test is used for balance assessment. A "Y" shaped design is made using three tape measures placed on the ground. After the first tape measure is placed in the anterior (ant) direction, the other two tape measures are placed on the ground in the posteromedial (pm) and posterolateral (pl) directions to form a 135-degree angle. How the test will be performed is clearly explained to the individuals before the test and they are allowed to perform three trials. With the hands on the waist, the fingertip reach in each of the three directions is recorded in centimeters (cm). The maximum distance they can reach in three reaches in each direction is recorded. This process is also repeated while standing on the other limb and recorded. Lower limb length is calculated by measuring the distance between the spina iliaca anterior superior and the medial malleolus with a tape measure. With the results obtained, the normalized reach and the composite reach for both limbs are calculated. | Change from Baseline Y Balance Test Results at 6 weeks. | |
Secondary | Change in Flexibility | Flexibility is assessed with the sit and reach test. Individuals are trained on how to perform the sit and reach test using three warm-up trials. All individuals sit with the heels/soles of their feet resting on the box, knees fully extended, and fingertips extended as far as possible in the correct position on the metal slide. Individuals are instructed to reach as far forward as possible by pushing the measurement indicator with their fingertips and to hold the maximum reach for two seconds. Three measurements are recorded and the mean calculated. | Change from Baseline Sit and Reach Test Results at 6 weeks. | |
Secondary | Change in Power | Power will be evaluated by vertical jump test. Individuals are measured in a fully rested state and 3 repetitions of vertical jump with 45 seconds rest interval, the best score is recorded. | Change from Baseline Vertical Jump Test Results at 6 weeks. | |
Secondary | Change in Gait | Gait is assessed with the 10-meter walk test. The test is performed at a comfortable walking speed on a 14 m walkway for 10 m walk, start (2 m) and finish (2 m). Measurements are repeated 3 times and the average time is recorded in seconds. Cadence is calculated and recorded during the test. | Change from Baseline 10-Meter Walk Test Results at 6 weeks. |
