Brief Summary

1) Subjects general characteristics The general characteristics were similar in both groups. 2) Navicular drop test The flat foot group showed significantly more descent than the normal foot group. 3) Static balance In the flexible flat foot group, there was a significant difference in all measurements in the before–after difference. In contrast, there was no significant difference in all measurements in the normal foot group except for the distance of one leg standing. In addition, the area, right-left, and anterior-posterior sway in the pretest were similar in the two groups, but a significant difference was noted only in distance. 4) Difference in change in Center of pressure excursion index(CPEI) Comparative analysis of the CPEI change between the flexible flat foot and normal foot groups revealed a significant difference
