Evaluation of Static Balance in University Students with and without Pes Planus

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the static balance in university students with and without pes planus.

Method: The research was carried out in the physiotherapy and rehabilitation department of health sciences faculty. 21 female students were included in the study. The navicular drop test was used to determine whether the participants had pes planus. static balances were measured by flamingo balance test.

Results: In the study conducted with female students with a mean age of 20.62±0.97, no significant difference was found between the presence of pes planus and static balance (p> 0.05) in the evaluations made with the groups with pes planus(n=13) and without pes planus (n=8). In addition, there was no significant difference between physical activity and static balance (p> 0.05).

Conclusion: ıt was concluded that the presence of pes planus did not affect the static balance.

Pes Planuslu Olan ve Olmayan Üniversite Öğrencisi Kadın Bireylerde Statik Dengenin Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Amaç: Çalışma pes planuslu olan ve olmayan üniversite öğrencisi kadınlarda statik dengenin değerlendirilmesi amacı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırma Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi Fizyoterapi ve Rehabilitasyon Bölümü’nde gerçekleştirilmiştir. 21 kadın öğrenci çalışmaya alınmıştır. Katılımcıların pes planuslu olup olmadıklarına navikular düşme testi ile bakılmıştır. Statik dengeleri Flamingo denge testi ile ölçülmüştür.

Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 20.62±0.97 olan üniversite öğrenci kadın bireylerle yapılan çalışmada, pes planusu olan (n=13) ve pes planusu olmayan (n=8) gruplarla yapılan değerlendirmelerde, statik denge arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır (p>0.05). Ayrıca, fiziksel aktivite yapıp yapmamak ile statik denge karşılaştırılmasında da anlamlı fark görülmemiştir (p>0.05).

Sonuç: Pes planus olup olmamanın statik dengeyi etkilemediği sonucuna varılmıştır.
