Effect of Biodex Balance Training and Short Foot Exercise on Myoelectric Activity of Paraspinal Muscles in Subjects with Flexible Flatfoot

The Biodex Balance System has a wide range of clinical applications and provides objective measures from testing that can be used to establish progressions and discharge criteria, as well as be part of a comprehensive Fall Risk Assessment or Fall Screening Program. Balance ability can be assessed either statically or dynamically, as well as bilaterally and unilaterally. It also allows for bilateral comparisons between involved and uninvolved limbs.

Short foot exercise is used as a therapeutic exercise to strengthen intrinsic foot muscles and used as training to create an MLA. It helps improve the balance in functional movement of FF subjects, decreases navicular drop (ND) through intrinsic muscle activation, supports navicular stability, and improves balance
