An interventional study of blood flow restriction in Flat Foot; Spastic, sponsored by Assiut University. Recruiting at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 10 Years to 18 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-01-15.
Sponsored by Assiut University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the efficiency and results of adding blood flow restriction (BFR) training to the physical therapy program for managing adolescents presented with spasmotic flatfoot deformities compared to the Standard physical therapy program without blood flow restriction.
173 studies on the registry are indexed under Flatfoot; 44 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 40 is close to the median of 40 across 122 interventional studies indexed under Flatfoot.

Exclusion Criteria:
Adding BFR to traditional low-intensity training.
Device: blood flow restriction
traditional training
The addition of BFR to low-load dynamic exercise training is effective for augmenting changes in both muscle strength and size.
American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle score (AOFAS)
Ankle-Hindfoot Scale: a standard method of reporting the clinical and functional status of the ankle and foot. The systems incorporate both subjective and objective factors into numerical scales to describe function, alignment, and pain. A score of 100 points is possible in a patient with no pain, full range of sagittal and hindfoot motion, no ankle or hindfoot instability, good alignment, ability to walk more than six blocks, ability to ambulate on any walking surface, no discernible limp, no limitation of daily or recreational activities, and no assistive devices needed for ambulation. Fifty points were assigned to function, 40 to pain, and 10 to alignment.
Time frame: baseline and 2 months
Range of motion (ROM)
Ankle range of motion of the sagittal plane (dorsiflexion and plantar flexion) and in the coronal plane (inversion and eversion), using a goniometer.
Time frame: baseline and at last follow up, 2 months
Muscle power
Muscle power by dynamometer for: Tibialis anterior and Toe flexors
Time frame: baseline and at last follow up, 2 months
Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS).
Pain level using NPRS, a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 represents the worst pain imaginable.
Time frame: baseline and at last follow-up, 2 months
Patient satisfaction
Patient satisfaction: patient satisfaction was initially collected by a simple yes or no question and if they were willing to go through the same protocol again and if they were satisfied with the results followed by detailed measurements using the 0 to 10 scale reported by Park et al., where 0 is extremely unsatisfied, and 10 is extremely satisfied.
Time frame: last follow up, 2 months
