Comparative Study Between Russian And Exercise in Subjects With Flexible Flatfoot

The prevalence of flexible flat foot was 13.6% in adults a cross-sectional Study (for males-12.8%; for females-14.4%).18-21-year-old Indian adults. This trial aims to compare between the effects of Russian current for tibialis posterior muscle and comprehensive exercise alone in subjects suffering from flexible flat foot on quality of life, ROM, strength of tibialis posterior and foot posture

Treatment and study plan

Russian Currents

Procedure

Currents are delivered in rectangular bursts. The electrode placement will be at the Tibialis Posterior muscle. Treatment will be given for 10 minutes, 30 minutes during the 3 consecutive days / 4 weeks.

Primary outcomes

  1. ROM (inversion and eversion).

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    Universal goniometer to assess the ROM (inversion and eversion) of the subtalar joint for each patient

  2. Foot Posture Index (FP1-6)

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    The FPI-6 is a novel method of rating foot posture using set criteria and a simple scale and is a quick, reliable diagnostic tool.
