آسيب شناسي و حركات اصلاحي

Background an‎d purpose: Flat, flexible soles reduce the height of the arch of the Foot, reduce movement function an‎d the quality of life of affected people. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Short Foot exercises an‎d core stability exercises on the arch of the Foot, functional movement an‎d quality of life in boys with flexible flat feet. Materials an‎d methods: The present research was pre-test an‎d post-test an‎d semi-experimental. The statistical population of the present study was made up of male aged 10 to 18 years old with flat feet from the Corrective Movement Center of Isfahan City, from whom 30 people were selec‎ted an‎d divided into two experimental groups of Short Foot exercises (age: 14±1/9 years; height: 152/02±2/24 cm; weight: 52/05±2/84 years) an‎d core stability group (age: 13±1/17 years; height: 18. 151.19±2 cm; weight: 46/36±2/24 cm (15 people) an‎d core stability group (15 people) were placed. The experimental samples performed their respective training protocol for 8 weeks an‎d three sessions for 60 minutes each week. Before an‎d after the training period, Foot arch height, functional movement an‎d quality of life were measured using Foot scan device, spiral agility test an‎d pedsQL childʹs quality of life questionnaire, respectively. Analysis of covariance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the data at a significance level of 0/05. Findings: The results showed that there was a significant difference between before an‎d after the exercises in the Short Foot experimental group (P<‎0/05). Also, a significant difference was observed between before an‎d after the exercises in the experimental group of core stability (P<‎0.05). The results showed that the exercises were more effective in the Short Foot experimental group than in the core stability group (P<‎0/05). Conclusion: Due to the effectiveness of both training programs, trainers an‎d occupational therapists are advised to pay attention to these two training programs when performing flat Foot exercises.
