Not Applicable

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Pes Planus
• Interventions: Other: Water exercise program; Other: Land-based-program

• Registration Number: NCT06251804
• Lead Sponsor: Istanbul Medipol University Hospital

Brief 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.

Detailed 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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Water exercise program	Water exercise program	The treatment program includes in-water exercise program. Participants will be exercised twice a week for six weeks.
Land-based-program	Land-based-program	The treatment program includes land-based exercise program. Participants will be exercised twice a week for six weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Navicular Drop Test	6 weeks	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.
Foot Posture Index	6 weeks	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.
Biodex Balance System	6 weeks	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

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pittsburg Sleep Index	6 weeks	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
