Summary

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between flexible flatfoot and lumbar proprioception.

Detailed description

The human foot plays a crucial role in maintaining balance during various activities, and poor foot alignment, such as excessive subtalar joint pronation, can lead to leg, knee, and back pain. Proprioception is essential for active joint stability, as it indirectly modulates and provides motor response, helping the neuromuscular system maintain balance. Lumbar proprioception deficits can decrease the ability to assume a neutral spinal posture and coordinate muscle contraction, affecting spinal segmental function, dynamic joint stability, and good motor control. This study investigates the association between flatfoot and lumbar proprioception.
