Detailed Description:
Individuals with flatfeet are more unstable when compared with normal individuals during quiet standing. About 10% to 25% of population exhibits a flat foot to varying degrees. In clinical practice, some subjects become symptomatic with feet pain or lower extremity soreness and limitation in their functional activities such as limitation of long-distance walking or running and high-impact sports.Patients with flexible flat feet have poorer static and dynamic balance than healthy individuals. Taking into consideration effect of flat feet on body alignment, the implication of flat feet on balance have received little attention to date Pilates is an individual body-based exercise, it has an advantage in that exercise load can be controlled according to the body's center of balance.Pilates based exercise works on the principles of trunk stability, also known as "core stability". "Core is described as a box, with the abdominals (transversus) in front, paraspinals (multifidus) in back, diaphragm in top and pelvic floor at the bottom". Pilates is a popular form of exercise training program which includes series of stretching and strengthening exercises with proper trunk control and breathing.
