Foot exercises for knee pain in flexible flatfoot
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
