The Relationship Between Pes Planus, Diaphragm, Postural Control, and Plantar Pressure
Examination of Diaphragm Function, Postural Control, and Plantar Pressure in Individuals With Pes Planus
Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University
34 participants
May 1, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Our primary aim is to compare diaphragm function (resting thickness, activity/resting thickness ratio indicating contractility), postural control, and plantar pressure between individuals with pes planus and healthy controls without pes planus.
Eligibility

Exclusion Criteria9
- Termination of voluntariness
- Those with rigid flatfoot, pes cavus, hallux valgus, hallux rigidus, or calcaneal spur deformity
- Those with chronic systematic and metabolic diseases (e.g., diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.) and musculoskeletal problems (e.g., pes planus) that may affect foot functions and gait
- Those with any surgical history likely to affect balance, lower extremity strength, and postural control
- Those with any visual/vestibular, musculoskeletal, or neurological problems"

Interventions
One of the methods used in our study to determine the presence and degree of pes planus is the navicular drop test.
Evaluation of Foot Function
To determination of physical activity level.
Rehabilitative ultrasound imaging is a method frequently used by physiotherapists to assess muscle function.
Balance master will be used for postural stability, static and dynamic balance measurements.
When assessing plantar pressure, postural control will be evaluated statically or dynamically, through examination of the behavior of the center of plantar pressure (COP).
