PES PLANUS

This three-year study tested whether wrestling shoes with built-in arch support can prevent flatfoot in adolescent male wrestlers. 88 boys aged 11 were randomly assigned to wear either arch-support shoes or standard wrestling shoes. Researchers checked foot shape and pressure eac…

This study tested whether specific foot muscle exercises could help adults with flat feet (pes planus) feel less pain and move better. Sixty-six people aged 20 to 45 took part. One group did foot exercises like toe curls and towel gathering, while the other group received standar…

This study tested two types of foot exercises in 32 teenagers with flat feet (pes planus). Participants did either classic foot exercises or foot core exercises for 12-15 minutes, twice a week for 8 weeks. The goal was to see if these exercises could reduce pain, improve balance,…

This study looked at whether custom-made insoles, created with 3D printing or computer-controlled machines, can help people with flexible flat feet. Forty adults aged 18 to 55 who had not used custom insoles recently took part. The researchers measured changes in foot pain, disab…

This study tested short foot exercises and joint mobilization in 45 young adults with flat feet (pes planus). Participants were split into three groups: one did stretching and short foot exercises, one did stretching plus subtalar joint mobilization, and one did both. The goal wa…

This study looked at whether different exercise approaches can improve balance and foot movement in adults with flat feet (pes planus). Forty participants with mild to moderate flat feet did mobility, stability, and stretching exercises. Researchers measured balance using tests l…

This study tested two hands-on treatments—tissue flossing (wrapping the calf with a band) and myofascial release (deep massage)—to see which better helps young adults with flat feet. 44 people aged 18-25 with flexible flat feet and calf pain took part. The goal was to improve bal…

This study compares two types of hands-on therapy for people with flexible flat feet who are physically active. One group gets joint-focused mobilization, another gets soft-tissue release, and a control group gets no treatment. Researchers will measure balance, ankle flexibility,…

This study looked at how flat feet (pes planus) affect the thickness and flexibility of two key foot tendons: the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon. Researchers compared 93 adults aged 18-45 with flat feet to healthy volunteers. They used ultrasound and a special device to measu…

This observational study looked at 41 adults with flat feet (pes planus) to see if heel muscle endurance is linked to balance sway while standing on one leg. Participants performed a heel rise test and stood on one leg with eyes open and closed while a sensor measured their sway.…
