Comparative Study Between Russian And Exercise in Subjects With Flexible Flatfoot
A study testing Russian Currents in people with Flat Feet, run by Deraya University at 2 sites in Egypt.
Trial summary
The prevalence of flexible flat foot was 13.6% in adults a cross-sectional Study (for males-12.8%; for females-14.4%).18-21-year-old Indian adults. This trial aims to compare between the effects of Russian current for tibialis posterior muscle and comprehensive exercise alone in subjects suffering from flexible flat… Read more about this study

About this study
The prevalence of flexible flat foot was 13.6% in adults a cross-sectional Study (for males-12.8%; for females-14.4%).18-21-year-old Indian adults. This trial aims to compare between the effects of Russian current for tibialis posterior muscle and comprehensive exercise alone in subjects suffering from flexible flat foot on quality of life, ROM, strength of tibialis posterior and foot posture

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Russian CurrentsProcedure or surgery
Currents are delivered in rectangular bursts. The electrode placement will be at the Tibialis Posterior muscle. Treatment will be given for 10 minutes, 30 minutes during the 3 consecutive days / 4 weeks.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Group (A) | Experimental | Russian current Receives: Procedure: Russian Currents |
| Group (B) | Active comparator | Exercise Receives: Procedure: Russian Currents |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
ROM (inversion and eversion).
Universal goniometer to assess the ROM (inversion and eversion) of the subtalar joint for each patient
Measured: 4 weeks
Foot Posture Index (FP1-6)
The FPI-6 is a novel method of rating foot posture using set criteria and a simple scale and is a quick, reliable diagnostic tool.
Measured: 4 weeks

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
