This study tests whether special exercises that strengthen the small muscles in your child's foot—with or without visual feedback on a screen—can improve flat feet and balance in children ages 7–12. Flat feet are common in kids and usually improve on their own, but this trial explores whether targeted training helps.
This study tests whether walking on mud can improve foot posture and balance in children with flexible flat feet. It may help strengthen the feet without surgery or special equipment.
This study tests a simple foot exercise called 'short foot exercise' to see if it can reduce knee pain, improve balance, and boost quality of life for people with flexible flatfoot. You may qualify if you have had knee pain for more than 6 weeks and have flat feet that flatten when you stand.
This trial tests whether a rehabilitation exercise program can improve balance and walking in children who have flexible flatfeet. The goal is to see if targeted rehab improves posture, stability, and gait (how your child walks).
This study tests whether a special movement-based technique can help reduce flat feet in school-age children. Flat feet can affect how kids walk and play, and this therapy may help improve foot arch height.
This study tests if special exercises with biofeedback (a tool that helps you see muscle activity) can improve flexible flat feet. It may help you if you have flat feet that are not fixed in position.
