İngilizce (OpenAlex)

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between foot proprioception and balance performance in young adults with pes planus. Thirty-four young adults with pes planus (mean age 20.15 ± 1.23 years) were included in the study. Pes planus evaluation was divided into 3 categories according to the Feiss line. Balance performance of the participants was evaluated with the Y Balance test and foot proprioception was evaluated with a digital goniometer at plantar flexion and dorsiflexion angles. The relationship between the variables was analyzed by spearman correlation analysis. A significant correlation was found between plantar flexion absolute error value and balance results in anterior, posterolateral, and posteromedial directions (r:-0.473, p
