چکیده
Methods Fifteen adults (48±21.4 years) that had no known balance problems or falls history participated. An instrumented treadmill system (Zebris FMD-T, Zebris Medical, Germany) was used to measure plantar pressure and temporal-spatial gait parameters. Data were recorded for 30 seconds of steady state walking immediately before and after intervention using a standardised protocol of FMT. Repeated measures ANOVAs were used to assess the effect of FMT on gait parameters at an alpha level of .05.

Background and Objectives: The prevalence of flexible flat foot in children was reported between 20 -78% in previous studies. Flat foot can result into mechanical deviations in lower limb alignment during walking. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immediate effects of medical insole on loading rate, impulse, and free moment in children with flat foot during walking. Material and M...
متن کاملEfficacy of "therapist-selected" versus "randomly selected" mobilisation techniques for the treatment of low back pain: a randomised controlled trial.
The aim of this study was to establish whether the mobilisation technique selected by the treating physiotherapist is more effective in relieving low back pain than a randomly selected mobilisation technique. Two manipulative physiotherapists and 140 subjects suffering non-specific low back pain participated. Baseline measurements were taken before treatment allocation; the therapist then asses...
