Summary

Pes Planus is a medical condition in which arch of the foot is flattened, causing the entire sole of the foot to contact the floor. For those with flat feet, footcore exercises might be an effective non-invasive therapy. Footcore exercises aim to strengthen the intrinsic foot muscles that maintain the foot arch, enhance foot function and reduce the risk of injury in persons with flatfoot.

Detailed description

A pilot, random research with 10 participants was undertaken. Two groups, Experimental group and Control group, were randomly selected among the subjects. Participant completed the informed consent form before the navicular drop test and Harris Mat was used to measure the foot pressure. Footcore exercises and conventional therapy was given for four weeks ,twice a day for 6 days. While the Control group just received conventional treatment, the Experimental group combined Footcore exercise with it. The data will be analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software.
