Effect of Flexible Pes Planus on Postural Stability in adolescent Females
Abstract: Aim: to evaluate response of postural control and balance in adolescent females with flexible pes planus during luteal phase of menstruation. Study design: A case control study. Place and Duration of study: Biomechanics lab, Faculty of physical education- Kafrelsheikh University, Egypt, between June 2014 to July 2014. Methodology: A total of 30 adolescent females, were selected randomly, divided into 2 equal groups. Group (A): 15 Participants with normal arch foot, group (B): 15 Participants with flexible pes planus. Their age was ranged from 15 to 18 years. Their body mass index between 18-25 kg/m2. The dynamic balance parameters (Anterior posterior, Mediolateral and Overall stability indices) measured by Biodex Balance System at stability level -8 and 6. Results: Comparing between the mean values of participants stability indices (OA, AP and ML) at stability level-8 and 6 within the same group (A or B), there was no statistical signicant difference (P> 0.05), But there was statistical signicant difference between both groups (A & B) (P
