Effect of Flexible Flatfoot on Static and Dynamic Balance in School Going Children

To know whether there is difference in Static and Dynamic balance in Flexible flatfoot children as compared to Normal arch foot Children.

Experimental study

I.T.S Paramedical College, India

100 students with flexible flat foot on the basis of the survey and 100 students with normal arch foot were compared for static and dynamic balance test. One leg standing test was used to measure the static balance test and Functional reach test was used to measure dynamic balance test.

While comparing the Functional reach test and one leg standing test between the two groups showed insignificant difference but within the age group analysis it showed significant difference in both the groups for Functional reach test and one leg standing test.

As the age increases the stability of the children increased. These findings may have important implications for clinical practice and future research.
