About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of a semirigid foot insole on radiological angle correction in people with asymptomatic flexible flat feet. The X-ray will be performed while standing barefoot one time and the other while standing on the insole from 2 views.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Asymptomatic people with flexible pes planus. If the pain is greater than 3 out of 10 on the visual analog scale in the last 3 months, the patient is considered to have symptomatic flat feet (Mahdiyar et al., 2021).

Aged 18-35.

BMI max 29.9 kg/cm².

Disqualifiers

Osteoarthritis of the joints of the foot (excluded by x-ray).

Foot Deformities (e.g. Hallux Valgus)

Old fractures of the foot.

Previous injuries to the ankle.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Radiological foot angles

In the lateral view,the lateral talo-1st metatarsal angle, the calcaneal inclination angle, the angle of Hibbs, the calcaneal-5th metatarsal angle, and the navicular height. In the AP view,The lateral talo-1st metatarsal angle, Talo-2nd metatarsal angle, The talocalcaneal angle, Talonavicular coverage angle and First-fifth metatarsal angle

Time frame
Immediately after the insole insertion. The radiology will be taken one time barefoot and second time with the insole insertion, and the researcher will measure the foot angles pre- and post-insole to measure the correction.
