Pengaruh Penggunaan Medial Arch Support Terhadap Sudut Valgus Ankle Pada Kondisi Flatfoot

Abstract

: Medial Arch Support, Valgus Ankle, Flat Foot. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of medial arch support on the angle of valgus ankle in flat foot condition. The type of this research is ExperimentCross SectionalQuasi with one group Pre Pre and Post Test Design. In order to determine the effect of medial arch support on the angle of valgus ankle on the condition of flatfoot of children aged 10 to 12 years, the instruments, materials or tools in this study consist of (1) medialarch supportsize small (20, 22, 23) (2) goniometer (3) Stationery (4) Resulting Sheet (5)Footprint Frame. The results of the study found that there is an effect of decreasing the degree of ankle valgus in flat foot conditions. Pre post Test The left leg before and after treatment showed p = 0.000 (p <0.05). And result of pre foot test data of right foot before and after treatment showed p = 0.000 (p <0,05). From this data it can be concluded that there is influence of medial arch support to angle valgus ankle at flat foot condition.

The Effect of Strengthening Ball Roll Exercise on the Static Balance and Flexibility in Children with Flatfoot at 4-6 Years

“…In general, the arch of the foot will be formed from the first 5 years of life with an age range of 2-6 years when it begins to enter the walking phase and the anatomy of the foot also begins to develop, where the age of 6 years has entered a critical period in the formation of the foot arch. The presence of weakness of the intrinsic muscles of the foot is one of the causes of the medial longitudinal arch to become flat in the weight-bearing position (1,2) The loss of the arch of the foot is caused by several factors, such as weakness in the supporting structures of the medial longitudinal arch, namely the intrinsic muscle group of the foot, the plantar ligament, and the anterior and posterior tibial tendons.Wholebody hypermobility may be associated with increased dorsiflexion of the ankle with flatfoot (3,4). The relationship between foot pronation and joint flexibility may need to be considered in children with flat foot symptoms.…”
