Effects of Pes Planus on Foot Pain, Low Back Pain and Balance in Young Adult Individuals

Abstract

Purpose : Pes planus is the reduction or complete loss of the medial longitudinal arch height of the foot. There are conflicting results in the literature explaining the relationship between pes planus and foot pain, low back pain, and balance in young adult individuals. This study aimed to determining the effects of pes planus on foot pain, low back pain and balance in young adult individuals. Methods: A total of 59 participants were included in this cross-sectional study. Feiss line test, Foot Function Index (FFI), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Stork Balance Test (SBT) were used to assess pes planus, foot pain, low back pain, and balance respectively. Results: There was no significant difference between FFI, VAS (resting-activity), and left foot SBT values comparisons of individuals without pes planus and with pes planus (p>0.05), it was found that the right SBT results were significantly higher in without pes planus than in pes planus (p<0.05). Conclusion: Balance scores of individuals without pes planus were found to be higher than individuals with pes planus. We think that adverse effects such as foot pain and low back pain, which are expected to occur due to pes planus, could not be detected at a significant level since our study population consisted of young adult individuals.
