Summary

Pes planus, also known as flatfoot, is a common foot deformity that can affect the biomechanics of the lower limbs. However, its relationship with neurological conditions has not been studied extensively. Restless Legs Syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by uncomfortable sensations in the legs and an urge to move them, especially during periods of rest, which can negatively affect sleep quality.

The aim of this multicenter cross-sectional study, conducted at Etlik Zübeyde Hanım Women's Health Training and Research Hospital, Etlik City Hospital in Ankara, and Yozgat City Hospital, is to determine the frequency of Restless Legs Syndrome in patients diagnosed with pes planus and to examine its effects on pain, emotional status, sleep quality, and quality of life. The study included 122 patients aged between 18 and 65 years with clinically diagnosed pes planus, and 120 healthy individuals matched for age and sex. Participants were assessed using the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group Diagnostic Criteria and Severity Rating Scale for Restless Legs Syndrome, the Visual Analog Scale and Foot Function Index for pain and foot function, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale for emotional status, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index for sleep quality, and the Short Form-36 Health Survey for quality of life.
