Summary

The goal of this randomised control trial is to determine the effects of insoles with and without short foot exercises on pain, disability and foot posture in children with pes planus.

The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

1. What are the effects of insoles on pain, disability, and foot posture in children with pes planus?
2. What are the effects of short foot exercises on pain, disability, and foot posture in children with pes planus?
3. What are the combined effects of insoles and short foot exercises on pain, disability, and foot posture in children with pes planus?
4. Is there a significant difference between the effects of insoles alone versus insoles with short foot exercises on pain, disability, and foot posture in children with pes planus?

Participants will be asked to signed consent form and divided into two groups. Experimental group will be asked to performed short foot exercises with internal shoe modification (a medial longitudinal arch support) daily for six weeks and Control Group will be asked to perform only internal shoe modification by placing a medial longitudinal arch support insoles inside the shoe.

Researchers will compare:

1\) Insoles only vs insoles + short foot exercises: This comparison would involve evaluating the effects of wearing insoles alone compared to wearing insoles and performing short foot exercises together to see effect on pain, disability, and foot posture among pes planus children between age group of 08 to 16 years.

Conditions

  • Flexible Flatfoot

Interventions

OTHER

Short foot exercises

A total of 26 participants with pes planus were assigned to the short-foot exercises group (n = 13) and the control group (n = 13). Both groups will be informed about pes planus, usual foot care, and appropriate footwear with foot insoles. In experimental group Short foot exercises (SFE) and internal shoe modification will be performed by placing a medial longitudinal arch support insoles inside the shoe. Exercises will be performed daily for six weeks.

OTHER

Insoles

In control group only internal shoe modification will be performed by placing medial longitudinal arch support insoles inside the shoe. Group assignment and SFE training will be conducted by the second physical therapist to provide blindness.
