Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Description:

For this purpose, in this project, the effectiveness of short foot exercises in water and on land will be compared in young adults with pes planus.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Foot Posture Index	A widely used method to assess foot posture and classify individuals according to different foot types.; Each criterion is scored on a 5-point scale ranging from -2 to +2.	6 weeks
Primary	Navicular Drop Test	It is a clinical assessment used to evaluate the degree of foot pronation or flattening of the medial longitudinal arch during weight bearing. It is commonly used to assess foot pronation, especially the vertical displacement of the navicular bone during weight bearing.	6 weeks
Primary	Biodex Balance System	It is a computerized balance assessment system widely used in clinical and research settings to assess and improve balance and stability. The Biodex Balance System typically consists of a computerized platform with force sensors, visual feedback display and various training modes. It provides quantitative measurements of balance parameters, allowing accurate assessment and monitoring of progress	6 weeks
Secondary	Pittsburg Sleep Index	It is a widely used scale that evaluates sleep quality and disorders related to sleep problems.; The Pitssburg sleep index includes 19 questions Each question is scored from 0 to 3 points, with a high score indicating poor sleep quality. The scale has a total score with a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 21 points	6 weeks
