“…Ravichandran et al [ 16 ] compared the effects of concentric and eccentric tibialis posterior strengthening exercises in individuals aged 18 to 25 years with flexible pes planus. Like our study, the participants used exercises such as resistant dorsiflexion, plantar flexion and inversion, towel curls, and toe-tip elevation.…”

Background Pes planus is one of the most common foot deformities. Although there are many studies on the effectiveness of various exercise methods in pes planus rehabilitation, the number of studies on video-based game exercise therapy applications is very limited. Objective This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of 2 video-based game exercise therapies and structured exercise practices in pes planus rehabilitation. Methods This study is a 3-arm, parallel-group, single-blinded randomized controlled trial. The study will include 69 patients with flexible pes planus aged between 18 and 25 years who attend the orthopedics and traumatology clinic and meet the inclusion criteria. The primary outcomes are measures of navicular drop and pedobarographic analysis before and after the intervention, and the secondary outcomes include balance, femoral anteversion, and lower extremity muscle strength. Participants will be evaluated with a navicular drop test for medial longitudinal arch height, a pedobarographic analysis system for plantar pressure analysis, a Craig test for femoral anteversion, the Becure Balance System for balance measurement, and a myometer device for lower extremity muscle strength measurement. Participants will be randomly assigned to a structured exercise group, an exergame group, or a serious game group according to their order of arrival. The structured exercise group will use a short foot exercise, a towel-picking exercise, and various walking and balance exercises. Patients in the serious play group will play the lower extremity games in the Becure Balance System. Patients in the exergame group will play balance games on the Nintendo Wii game console. All participants will participate in 18 exercise sessions (3 days a week for 6 weeks). After the treatment, the initial measurements will be repeated. Results The study started in January 2023. It is expected to be completed in June 2024. Conclusions This study will be the first randomized controlled study to evaluate the effectiveness of 2 different video-based game exercise therapy applications in pes planus rehabilitation. Through this study, the use of video-based game exercise therapy in pes planus rehabilitation, together with the developing technology, will be a guide. In addition, a new exercise protocol, including serious game exercises, will be added to the literature. In the future, it is expected that our study on the development of different game systems, especially for the ankle, will provide pioneering feedback.

“…It is therefore necessary to take measures to correct the defects in the locomotor system effectively and prevent other health problems [23,24]. Some authors mention the importance of corrective exercises in the correction of flat feet [24][25][26][27]. As a result of their research, Lazuta et al [28] concluded that special corrective gymnastics exercises, taken twice a week for 20 minutes over 4 months are effective in correcting 1 st degree flat feet.…”

Background. According to the data from the World Health Organization, the condition of children's feet is unsatisfactory. An effective solution to this problem requires the development of pedagogic and health correction technologies, the basis of which should consist of the joint effort of orthopedists, coaches and the family, founded on the advice of orthopedists, therapeutic swimming and corrective gymnastics. The aim of this research is to study the effectiveness of the technology of orthopedist-coach-parent joint activity in correcting foot problems in children between the ages of 11 and 12. Material and methods. The condition of the locomotor system in children was assessed using the plantographic method. In order to correct foot disorders, a program was developed whose effectiveness was studied in a scientific pedagogical experiment. Results. As a result of the pedagogical experiment, the indicators of the first degree of flat feet of all 5 children in the experimental group were significantly reduced, and no significant improvement was recorded in the control group. Conclusions. The results of the research showed that the correction of deviations in the locomotor system is more effective if it is carried out as a result of collaboration between the orthopedist, a coach and parents, using therapeutic swimming and corrective gymnastics, as well as maintaining the orthopedic regime.
