Summary

Pes planus is a deformity called "flatfoot" and is defined as the valgus of the hindfoot while loading the foot, the disappearance of the medial longitudinal arch in the midfoot, and the supination of the forefoot relative to the hindfoot. The aim of this study is to compare the subtalar angle, q angle, trunk muscle endurance, and performance of individuals with pes planus and healthy controls. Volunteer students between the ages of 18-35 will be included among the students studying at the Health Sciences University Gülhane Faculty of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation. The feet of individuals who want to be included in the study will be examined by the researchers with the navicular drop test and the presence of pes planus will be determined according to this test. Subtalar Angle to determine the degree of rotation (Varus/Valgus) in the hindfoot, Q Angle for knee biomechanics, Navicular Drop Test to determine flat feet, Mcgill trunk Flexion, Extension, and Lateral Bridge Test to evaluate trunk endurance, Xbox to evaluate lower and upper extremity performance 360Kinect™ game console will be used. In this study, statistical analyzes will be made with SPSS 21 package program (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Wilcoxon test or Mann Whitney U will be used after determining the conformity to the normal distribution in the comparison of the values before and after the exercises, individuals with and without flat feet. Results will be evaluated at the significance level of p\<0.05. Cohen's d values will be calculated to determine the study effect size.
