Abstract
Background and aim: A flat foot is one of the most common skeletal disorders that affect the function of the foot. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of two types of corrective exercise programs with a comprehensive and localized approach in correcting flat foot deformities in adolescents.
Methods: The statistical population consisted of adolescent male students in Mashhad. Using cluster sampling, 75 students aged 11 to 12 years, who had simultaneously flat feet, crossed knees, and internal rotation of the knee were purposefully selected. They were randomly divided into three experimental groups: local exercises (n = 25), comprehensive (n = 25), and control (n = 25). The severity of flat feet was measured by the navicular bone loss test (pre-test). The experimental groups performed local and comprehensive correction programs for 6 weeks.
Results: The results showed that local corrective exercises and comprehensive corrective exercises have a significant effect on correcting flat foot deformities. There was also a significant difference between the effect of local and comprehensive exercises in correcting flat foot deformities and the effect of comprehensive exercises was greater.
Conclusion: It is concluded that for the treatment of plantar fasciitis, both local corrective exercises and comprehensive corrective exercises can be used as effective training methods and comprehensive corrective exercises have an advantage over local corrective exercises.
