An interventional study of Footcore exercises and conventional therapy and conventional therapy in Flatfoot, sponsored by Maharishi Markendeswar University (Deemed to be University). Recruiting at 1 site in India. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 30 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-03-07.
Sponsored by Maharishi Markendeswar University (Deemed to be University) · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Pes Planus is a medical condition in which arch of the foot is flattened, causing the entire sole of the foot to contact the floor. For those with flat feet, footcore exercises might be an effective non-invasive therapy. Footcore exercises aim to strengthen the intrinsic foot muscles that maintain the foot arch, enhance foot function and reduce the risk of injury in persons with flatfoot.
A pilot, random research with 10 participants was undertaken. Two groups, Experimental group and Control group, were randomly selected among the subjects. Participant completed the informed consent form before the navicular drop test and Harris Mat was used to measure the foot pressure. Footcore exercises and conventional therapy was given for four weeks ,twice a day for 6 days. While the Control group just received conventional treatment, the Experimental group combined Footcore exercise with it. The data will be analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software.
173 studies on the registry are indexed under Flatfoot; 44 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 30 is below the median of 40 across 122 interventional studies indexed under Flatfoot.

Navicular Drop Test
A thick, white index card was used for the navicular drop test, which measured the navicular height. The card was positioned from the surface in a vertical position, passing the navicular bone, on the medial portion of the hindfoot, parallel to the subject's feet (kept in a subtalar neutral position). The floor was measured while sitting and standing, and the level of the navicular tubercle's highest point was marked on the card.An increased intra- (ICC = 0.73-0.96) and inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.92) along with significant Pearson correlations to radiographic images (r = 0.89-0.92) have been shown when the NDT was modified to address these issues using the Sit-to-Stand Navicular Drop Test (SSNDT) method with digital photographs.
Time frame: 1 month
Harris Mat for Plantar Pressure Distribution
On a Harris-Beth mat, the patients' footprints were captured . Each foot's static imprint was captured while the body was supported by just half of its weight. The broadest region of the arch and the heel of each foot were measured, and the arch index and foot pressure for both feet were determined by dividing the former value by the latter, as explained by Staheli et al.Interrater and interrater reliability of the footprint parameters both revealed ICC values close to or greater than 0.9. Previous research found that the SI and CSI have great reliability (0.914-0.998)
Time frame: 1 month
Ran from Mar 2024 to primary completion in Mar 2024, 0 months.
Of 89 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Flatfoot, half reached primary completion within 7 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 15. This study's 0 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 89 studies reached it within 7 months; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 15.
