Abstract:
Background and Aims: Whole body vibration (WBV) is a fast, safe, and effective way to improve balance and muscle strength. Considering to the effect of the foot longitudinal arch on the individuals dynamic balance and the effectiveness of WBV in improving balance, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of WBV on dynamic balance in patients with flexible flatfoot.
Materials and Methods: In the current study, 80 patients with flexible flatfoot including 40 females and males under 18 with the mean age of 15/25 ±1/24 and 40 females and males over 20 with the mean age of 22/57±1/48 were randomly divided into two intervention and control groups. The intervention group received four weeks of WBV training. In the control group, including both under 18 and over 20-year-old participants, no intervention was carried out. In this group, the participants followed their daily activities. The fatigue protocol was performed on the treadmill with different speeds and angles of inclination according to the protocol working method, and dynamic balance tests were assessed using Biodex Balance System indices including overall, anterior-posterior, and medial-lateral.
Results: The results of repeated measures analysis of variance and Bonferroni test showed that the mean of the overall, anterior-posterior and medial-lateral stability indices in the two intervention groups under 18 years and over 20 years was significantly increased compared to the two control group (P
