Effect of Hip-focused Neuromuscular Activation Exercise on Foot Posture and Neuromuscular Control

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Exercise
• Interventions: Other: Exercise

• Registration Number: NCT03916991
• Lead Sponsor: Hacettepe University

Brief Summary

This study planned to investigate the effect of hip-focused neuromuscular activation exercise on foot posture and neuromuscular control in symptomatic and asymptomatic participants. We will follow a cross-over study design to compare the effect of hip focused neuromuscular activation exercise or a sham exercise on foot posture and lower extremity biomechanics. Foot posture will be assessed by Navicular Drop Test (NDT), and lower extremity neuromuscular control will be assessed with Star Excursion Y-Balance Test (SEBT-Y) and Frontal Plane Projection Angle (FPPA) during single leg squat before and after the experiments. The results of this study may provide scientific knowledge for a kinetic chain approach during functional foot rehabilitation.
