Abstract

Background:Pronated foot is one of the most important factors that may lead to musculoskeletal injuries of the lower extremities. Among all treatments for this disorder, intrinsic foot muscles strengthening exercises (IFMSE) have an important role in management of the individuals with pronated foot. Although the effect of the IFMSE is well accepted in this population; however, their impacts on foot kinetic are yet to be clarified. The present study aims to identify the effects of the IFMSE on foot kinetic parameters in pronated foot individuals during forward jump landing.Materials and Methods:In this quasi-experimental study, 20 asymptomatic male and female subjects (mean age of 22.65 +/- 2.51 years) with pronated foot structures were selected by using a simple non-random sampling method. The ground reaction force (GRF), rate of loading (ROL), and the resultant vector of time to stabilization (RVTTS) were examined during a forward jump landing task by using a force plate before and after six weeks of the IFMSE.Result:The findings showed that the following parameters were not significantly change before and after of the IFMSE: GRF (1.97 +/- 0.49 vs. 2.03 +/- 0.54, P =0.667), ROL (.09 +/- 0.12 vs. 08 +/-.12, P =.632), and RVTTS (2836.60 +/- 1144.62 vs. 2644.35 +/- 704.71, P =.479).Conclusion:In the pronated feet subjects, the IFMSE alone was not capable of changing the kinetic parameters of the foot, or the duration of using these exercises. In this study, six weeks may not be enough to make changes the foot kinetic parameters and therefore these exercises should be used for a longer period of time.
