Summary

This trial tests whether adding trunk (core) stabilization exercises to a standard foot exercise program can improve dynamic balance and foot function in young adults with pronated (flat) feet. Thirty participants aged 18–25 with bilateral flat feet will be randomly assigned to either core-plus-foot exercises or foot exercises alone. Balance and foot function will be measured before and after the program to see if core training offers extra benefit.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
trunk stabilization exercise combined with pronated foot exercises
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a simple, non-drug way to improve balance and reduce foot pain in people with flat feet.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early trial with only 30 participants. Results may not apply to everyone, and the exercises require consistent effort.
