Effects of Hip-Based Versus Knee-Based Exercises on Medial Longitudinal Arch, Dynamic Balance, and Muscle Strength in Flexible Flatfoot

This study aims to compare the effects of hip-based and knee-based exercise interventions on medial longitudinal arch height, dynamic balance, and lower limb muscle strength in individuals with flexible flat feet. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: one receiving hip-focused strengthening and stretching exercises, and the other receiving knee-focused exercises, while both groups will perform a common set of foot intrinsic exercises. The intervention will be conducted over 6 weeks. Outcomes will be measured pre- and post- intervention and in the middle of intervention to determine which approach is more effective in improving foot stability and functional performance.

Calcaneal Lengthening Osteotomy With Locking Wedge Plate Versus Synthetic PEEK Cage Interposition for Symptomatic Flexible Pes Planovalgus Foot Deformity in Adolescents

The goal of this interventional study is to compare clinical outcome, radiological parameters, complication rates and time to recovery of calcaneal lengthening osteotomy with locking wedge plate versus PEEK cage interposition in management of symptomatic flexible pes planovalgus foot deformity in adolescents

Effect of a Semirigid Foot Insole in Flexible Pes Planus

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of a semirigid foot insole on radiological angle correction in people with asymptomatic flexible flat feet. The X-ray will be performed while standing barefoot one time and the other while standing on the insole from 2 views.
