Abstract: (17 Views)
Introduction: The difference in altitude due to the foot's arch in individuals with pes cavus affects transitional movement parameters and may increase the risk of injury. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine rehabilitation exercises on the mechanics of transitional movements in individuals with an excessive arch of the foot.
Methods: This study was a narrative review. Articles were searched in both English and Persian languages from April 2015 to September 2024 using databases such as Scopus, PubMed, SID, MDPI, Google Scholar, Web of Science (WOS), and ScienceDirect. Considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 68 articles were selected. After a detailed review, 58 articles that did not meet the selection criteria were excluded, and 10 articles were selected for final analysis.
Results: The findings of 5 studies indicated that corrective exercises and rope skipping exercises lead to improved postural control and balance. The results of 2 other studies showed that therapeutic exercises, walking, and running can prevent the occurrence of lower limb injuries. Another study demonstrated that a combination of static stretching and electrical stimulation can be beneficial in managing pes cavus. Additionally, mobilization of the talonavicular and first metatarsophalangeal joints was found to be effective in reducing pain associated with this condition.
Conclusions: It seems that rehabilitation exercises focused on enhancing balance in individuals with excessive foot arch may improve transitional movements, postural control, and reduce the rate of lower limb injuries.
