简要总结
Pes planus, sometimes known as flat feet, is one of these disorders and is characterized by a collapsed medial longitudinal arch, hindfoot eversion, and forefoot abduction. Pes planus is a musculoskeletal condition that causes hip, knee, and foot discomfort. According to a descriptive cross-sectional survey, 17% of school-aged children, 64% men and 34% females have flat foot deformity. Talonavicular joint is responsible for translating inversion and eversion movements of the foot. Mobilization of the Talonavicular joint helps in the improvement of joint dysfunction caused by inappropriate or bad posture via the proprioceptors.
Rigid tape also known as low dye tape is defined as non-elastic zinc oxide tape used by physical therapists to stabilize a joint and limit movement. The conventional rigid tape is frequently used with non-contractile tissue, which then acts similarly to a ligament to limit joint mobility and prevent joints from moving into dangerous or end range positions.
详细描述
Foot disorders are very frequent in elder adults, with some illnesses having a prevalence of up to 65 percent. Foot diseases and accompanying symptoms have been linked to a variety of negative health outcomes, including falls and functional restrictions. The biomechanics of many foot problems, however, are yet unknown. Foot biomechanics during functional activities, such as walking could play a role in the onset and progression of foot problems.
Pes planus, sometimes known as flat feet, is one of these disorders and is characterized by a collapsed medial longitudinal arch, hindfoot eversion, and forefoot abduction. Pes planus is a musculoskeletal condition that causes hip, knee, and foot discomfort.
Pes planus is a common deformity that affects newborns and children and normally goes away by the time they reach puberty. After that, the incidence tends to drop with age, with just 4% of children having flatfoot by the age of ten. This backs up the assumption that flatfoot in children normally resolves on its own throughout the first ten years of life.
Pes planus is divided into two types: flexible (functional) and rigid (structural).
The initial treatment of painful-but-flexible flatfoot is nonoperative. Conservative therapy techniques such as rest, icing, massage, and nonsteroidal anti inflammatory medication, should always be used initially to reduce pain in symptomatic flexible and rigid flatfeet. Physical therapy plan which includes electrotherapy, Achilles' tendon stretching , strengthening of calf muscles, intrinsic muscles of the foot, and navicular mobilization are used as treatment options.

主要结局
Numerical pain rating scale
时间窗: four weeks
a 11 point outcome measure used to measure the intensity of pain ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain(23), it has been exhibited moderate reliability (Intra class correlation coefficient (ICC) is a widely used reliability index) is 0.67. Assessment to be done at baseline and at end of every week.
Navicular drop test
时间窗: four weeks
The navicular drop test is a measure to evaluate the function of the medial longitudinal arch, which is important for examination of patients with overuse injuries It evaluates the foot hyper pronation by first measuring the navicular tuberosity height from floor or supporting surface in seated position and then in full weight bearing position by placing an index card at medial aspect of foot and then measuring the difference between the two marks of navicular level in millimeters. This procedure was performed bilaterally and navicular drop values greater than 10 mm are considered to be hyper pronation(22).It has high intraclass correlation coefficients reported for both intertester and intratester reliability ranging from 0.78 to 0.83. Assessment to be done at baseline and at end of every week.
Time up & go test.
时间窗: four weeks
used to asses functional mobility and balance in which subject rise from a chair, walk 3 meter or 10 feet , turn around, return to the chair, and sit down.the performance is graded based on whether the individual completes the test under 10 sec(independent), under 20 sec(independent for main transfers) and under 30 sec (require assistance).It has good to excellent reliability results with intraclass correlation coefficients ICC range,0.69-.99.Assessment to be done at baseline and at end of every week.
Goniometer
时间窗: four weeks
(tool used by health professionals to objectively measure the range of motion of each joint effectively). The data analysis demonstrated that the goniometer has high intertester reliability with ICC ranges from 0.98-0.99. Assessment to be done at baseline and at end of every week.
