“…The results of the present study were consistent with the studies of Khramtsov et al (2009), Abdulwahab and Kachanathu (2015), and Song et al (2021) [ 33 – 35 ]. The results showed that the static balance is significantly lower in the flexible flatfoot group than in the normal foot group (Table 2 ); in other words, foot biomechanics affects balance and stability in a stationary state.…”

“…Song et al (2021) compared the difference in foot pressure, ground reaction force, and balance ability based on foot arch height in young adults; the results showed no significant difference between the peak vertical force in people with flexible flatfoot and regular foot. However, static balance in people with flexible flatfoots was significantly lower than in people with normal feet [ 35 ]. Therefore, the results in the field of foot biomechanical effects on balance and stability are contradictory.…”

Background & purpose Afferent input from the sole affects postural stability. Cutaneous reflexes from the foot are important to posture and gait. Lower-limb afferents alone provide enough information to maintain upright stance and are critical in perceiving postural sway. Altered feedback from propreoceptive receptors alters gait and patterns of muscle activation. The position and posture of the foot and ankle may also play an important role in proprioceptive input.Therefore, the current research aims to compare static balance and ankle and knee proprioception in people with and without flexible flatfeet. Methodology 91 female students between the ages of 18 and 25 voluntarily participated in this study, of which 24 were in the flexible flatfoot group and 67 were in the regular foot group after evaluating the longitudinal arch of the foot. The position sense of ankle and knee joints were measured using the active reconstruction test of the ankle and knee angle; Static balance was measured using the Sharpened Romberg test. Data were non-normally distributed. Accordingly, non-parametric tests were applied. The Kruskal-Wallis test was applied to compare differences between groups in variables. Result Kruskal-Wallis test showed a significant difference between two groups of flat feet and normal feet in the variables of static balance and position sense of ankle plantarflexion, ankle dorsiflexion, and knee flexion (p ≤ 0.05). A significant correlation was found between static balance and sense of ankle and knee position in the group with normal feet. The analysis of the regression line also showed that ankle and knee position sense could predict the static balance score in the regular foot group (ankle dorsiflexion position sense 17% (R2 = 0.17), ankle plantarflexion position sense 17% (R2 = 0.17) and knee flexion position sense 46% (R2 = 0.46) explain of changes in static balance). Discussion & conclusion Flexible flatfoot soles can cause loss of balance and sense of joint position; therefore, according to this preliminary study, clinicians must be aware and should take into account this possible deficit in the management of these patients.

“…The results showed that the static balance is signi cantly lower in the exible atfeet group than the normal feet group (Table 2). The results of the present study were consistent with the studies of Khramtsov et al (2009), Al Abdulwahab and Kachanathu (2015), Song et al (2021) [21,23,24]. Feet connection with the ankle, knee and hip joints form the kinematic chain of the lower body which regulates the balance of the body in a static and dynamic state.…”

“…Al Abdulwahab and Kachanathu (2015) studied the effects of various degrees of foot posture on static balance in healthy adults; the results showed increasing the foot posture index (FPI) has an effect on static balance in healthy people [23]. Song et al (2021) compared foot pressure, ground reaction force, and balance ability in young adults with exible atfeet; the results showed no signi cant difference in peak vertical force, but static balance was signi cantly lower in exible atfeet compared to normal feet [24]. Therefore, the results in the eld of effect of sole foot biomechanics on balance and stability are contradictory.…”

Introduction: Changing in the structure of the sole of the foot, including increasing or decreasing its arch, is one of the factors that expose the foot to injuries caused by physical activities. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to determine the relationship between strength of central muscles, coordination, stability and functional movement scores in females with flexible flatfeet. Methods: Ninety-six female students between the ages of 18 and 25 voluntarily participated in this study. The Navicular Drop Test was used to evaluate the longitudinal arch of the foot. The participants were classified into flexible flatfeet (n=25) and normal feet (n=71) groups. Fundamental movement evaluated by the Functional Movement Screening Test (FMS); static balance using the Sharpened-Romberg test; dynamic balance using Y-test; Agility and coordination using 4×9-m shuttle run; endurance of the abdominal muscles and lumbar spine extensor muscles using respectively Partial curl-up and maintaining the plank position, were evaluated. Results: The results of the independent t-test and Mann-Whitney U test showed a significant difference between the two groups in functional movement, abdominal muscle endurance, static balance and lumbar extensor muscle endurance variables (p≤0.05). In the normal feet group, a significant correlation was found between functional movements with abdominal muscle endurance, dynamic balance and agility. Conclusion: the deformity of flexible flatfeet lead to deficiencies in people's health, movement performance and motor skill-related factors; therefore, according to this study, patients should be aware of this potential deficiency and paying attention to appropriate rehabilitation exercises for the conservative treatment of flexible flatfeet.

“…While Cote et al (2005), Tong et al (2013) and Pradhan et al (2020) stated that foot posture has no influence on dynamic balance; Abdulwahab and Kachanathu (2015) reported that static balance in healthy individuals is affected by an increase in the foot posture index. The results of a study conducted by Song et al (2021) on foot pressure, ground reaction force, foot posture and balance ability in young individuals with varied foot arch height showed that there was no significant difference in the peak vertical force in individuals with flexible flatfeet and normal feet. However, static balance in people with flexible flatfeet was significantly lower than in people with normal feet.…”

Background: Agility is the ability to accelerate, decelerate and sprint with change in direction. The risk factors for injuries in soccer players are imbalance, decreased agility, and improper foot posture. Understanding the relationship between foot posture and agility can facilitate agility training and rehabilitation to improve their performance in the sport. Objective: To determine an association between foot posture and agility in amateur soccer players. Methodology: The cross sectional study recruited 78 age and gender-matched amateur soccer players. They were then allocated into pronated, supinated and neutral foot postures based on the foot posture index scores. Later the modified Illinois change of direction test (MICODT) was administered to all the players to test agility. With standing as the starting position of the test the players were made to run from the starting point to the finish point without any stop in between. The time to complete the test was noted. Results: Out of 78 subjects, 26 subjects had supinated feet 26 had pronated feet and 26 had normal feet. An association was found between foot posture and agility with a significance of p0.001. Logistic regression analysis revealed that players with supinated a feet demonstrated 3.53 times greater influence on agility than players with normal feet (p0.05). Players with pronated feet showed 0.54 times greater influence on agility than players with normal feet. Conclusion: A significant association between foot posture and agility was detected in amateur soccer players. Supinated feet influenced agility to a greater degree when compared to pronated and normal foot postures in amateur soccer players.
