Dr. Anvita Telang | Dr. Supriya Dhumale

Abstract: Objectives: 1) To study the core stability in individuals with Bilateral Flexible flat foot in the age group of 19-35 years.2) To study the core stability in individuals with Normal foot in the age group of 19-35 years 3) To compare the core stability in the individuals with Bilateral Flexible flat foot and Normal foot in the age group of 19-35 years. Research design: Cross-sectional study. Method: In this study 30 subjects for Bilateral Flexible flat feet and 30 subjects for Normal arched feet were selected by using the sit to stand navicular drop test (SSNDT), to measure the Core stability back extensor endurance test, flexor endurance test and the side bridge test were used, the Means and the standard deviation for each group was calculated and compared. Results: Extremely significant mean differences in core stability tests were found in the individuals having Bilateral Flexible flat feet (p<0.0001).
