Summary

This study looks at whether adding visual feedback (like watching your feet move) to foot-core exercises helps children with flexible flat feet walk better and improve foot posture. Researchers will split 24 children aged 7-12 into two groups: one doing foot exercises alone, the other doing exercises with visual feedback. The goal is to see if the extra feedback makes treatment more effective.
