Abstract:Background: Pesplanus refers to feet that have a visibly depressed medial longitudinal arch, sometimes in conjunction with rearfoot eversion. The medial arch absorbs and evenly distributes forces when the body is bearing weight in the upright posture and serves as a flexible base of support for the entire body.
Objective: A case study is to evaluate the effectiveness of comprehensive exercise program and short foot exercises in patients with pes planus condition.
Method: 23-year-old female pesplanus patient was provided an individualized therapy for 3 sessions per week for 6 weeks. Outcome measures included Navicular drop test and Chippaux smirak index.
Result: The result of the study showed significant improvement in medial longitudinal arch height and Chippaux smirak index values.
Conclusion: The findings of this study concluded that comprehensive exercise program and short foot exercises are effective in treating a patient with pesplanus condition.
