Effect of Neuromuscular Training on Foot Posture ,Balance and HKA angle in Kathak Dancers with Pronated Foot:An Experimental Study

This single-arm pre–post interventional study aims to evaluate the effect of a 4-week neuromuscular training program on foot posture, balance, and lower limb alignment in Kathak dancers aged 18–35 years with pronated foot posture (FPI +6 to +12). Twenty-two eligible participants will undergo eight supervised 60-minute sessions (two per week) incorporating strengthening, core stability, and balance training. Primary outcome is the Foot Posture Index score; secondary outcomes include static balance (Single Leg Stance Test), dynamic balance (Y-Balance Test), and Hip-Knee-Ankle angle (APECS software). Assessments will be performed at baseline and after completion of the intervention. Data will be analysed using paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed rank test with significance at p<0.05.
