Hip and foot strength training for overweight women
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding hip-strengthening exercises to foot-strengthening exercises helps overweight women with flat feet. If you have foot pronation and are in your early 30s, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 30 and 35 years old.
- You are overweight with a BMI between 25 and 29.9.
- Your feet roll inward (overpronation) when you stand or walk.
- Your navicular bone (a small bone in the arch of your foot) drops more than 10mm when you stand.
- The angle between your hip and knee (Q-angle) is increased (between 15–18 degrees).
