Comparative Study Between Russian And Exercise in Subjects With Flexible Flatfoot

June 24, 2025 updated by: Deraya University
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
