The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the efficiency and results of adding blood flow restriction (BFR) training to the physical therapy program for managing adolescents presented with spasmotic flatfoot deformities compared to the Standard physical therapy program without blood flow restriction.

Inclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria
The addition of BFR to low-load dynamic exercise training is effective for augmenting changes in both muscle strength and size.
Time frame: baseline and 2 months
Ankle-Hindfoot Scale: a standard method of reporting the clinical and functional status of the ankle and foot.
The systems incorporate both subjective and objective factors into numerical scales to describe function, alignment, and pain. A score of 100 points is possible in a patient with no pain, full range of sagittal and hindfoot motion, no ankle or hindfoot instability, good alignment, ability to walk more than six blocks, ability to ambulate on any walking surface, no discernible limp, no limitation of daily or recreational activities, and no assistive devices needed for ambulation. Fifty points were assigned to function, 40 to pain, and 10 to alignment.
Time frame: baseline and at last follow up, 2 months
Ankle range of motion of the sagittal plane (dorsiflexion and plantar flexion) and in the coronal plane (inversion and eversion), using a goniometer.
Time frame: baseline and at last follow up, 2 months
Muscle power by dynamometer for: Tibialis anterior and Toe flexors
Time frame: baseline and at last follow-up, 2 months
Pain level using NPRS, a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 represents the worst pain imaginable.
Time frame: last follow up, 2 months
Patient satisfaction: patient satisfaction was initially collected by a simple yes or no question and if they were willing to go through the same protocol again and if they were satisfied with the results followed by detailed measurements using the 0 to 10 scale reported by Park et al., where 0 is extremely unsatisfied, and 10 is extremely satisfied.
