The Relationship Between Balance and Flexibility of Foot Medial Longitudinal Arch Status In University Students
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the status of the foot medial longitudinal arch height in university students and its effect on a person’s muscle flexibility and balance. Patients and Methods: This research was carried out on 81 students ages ranging from 18 to 30 studying at university. The foot medial longitudinal arch height was evaluated with Harris Mat. Students were divided into three groups according to the evaluation of the footprint: Normal, high and low arch. The balance was assessed for all participants with Single-Leg Stance Test and Star Excursion Balance Test. Gastrocnemius and hamstring muscle flexibility were measured by a tape measure. Evaluation results of groups were compared. Results: There were 27 people 21 females, 6 males in all three groups. In the normal arch group, Star Excursion left posterior on the left foot and hamstring muscle flexibility results were found to be statistically higher than the other groups. p0.05 . Conclusion: As a result, it was seen that the increase and decrease of normal foot arch height negatively affected some parameters in dynamic balance and hamstring muscle flexibility and did not affect gastrocnemius muscle flexibility and static balance. It was concluded that balance and muscle flexibility effects should be considered in individuals with foot arch deformity.

Abstract
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı; üniversite öğrencilerinde ayak medial longitudinal ark yüksekliğinin denge ve esneklik üzerine etkisini değerlendirmektir. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 18–30 yaş aralığında üniversitede öğrenim görmekte olan toplam 81 öğrenci dahil edildi. Olguların ayak medial longitudinal ark değerlendirmesi için Harris Mat kullanıldı. Bireyler, ayak izi değerlendirme sonucuna göre sırayla normal, yüksek ve düşük ark grubu olarak üçe ayrıldı. Gruplardaki katılımcılara statik denge değerlendirmesi için tek ayak üstünde durma testi, dinamik denge değerlendirmesi için Star Excursion Balance Test uygulandı. Gastrokinemius ve hamstring kas esneklik ölçümleri için mezura kullanıldı. Grupların değerlendirme sonuçları karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Gruplardaki katılımcıların 21’i kadın, 6’sı erkekti. Bulgulara bakıldığında, normal ark grubunda Star Excursion sol ayak üzerinde posteriora uzanma ve hamstring kas esnekliği sonuçları diğer gruplara göre istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bulundu p0,05 . Sonuç: Sonuç olarak normal ayak ark yüksekliğinin artmasının ve azalmasının dinamik dengedeki bazı parametreleri ve hamstring kas esnekliğini olumsuz etkilediği, gastrokinemius kas esnekliği ve statik dengeyi etkilemediği görüldü. Ayak ark deformitesi olan bireylerde, denge ve kas esneklik etkilenimlerinin de göz önüne alınması gerektiği kanısına varıldı.
