The Effect of Exercise Training and Arch Supported Insoles on Balance and Vertical Jump Performance in Football Players With Foot Pronation Deformity

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study aims to investigate the effects of foot pronation exercises and arch support insoles on balance and vertical jump test in football players.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The study took place in FootBalance Turkey, which works on foot analysis and insoles. 30 professional football players with pronation who divided into two groups. The football players in the Experimental Group used insoles and also participated the foot core exercise program twice a week for 4 weeks duration. The football players in the Control Group just used the insoles.We used the FootBalance assessmnet system for insoles. Navicular Drop Test, Y Balance Test, Flamingo Testand Vertical Jump Test applied to evalute foot pronation, dynamic balance, static balance and jump performace respectively.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Navicular Drop Test | It is the one of the static foot assessment tool and is intended to represent the sagittal plane displacement of the navicular tuberosity from a neutral position. | 4 weeks | 
| Y Balance Test/ Dynamic Balance Evaluation | The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) is a dynamic test that requires strength, flexibility, and proprioception. It is a measure of dynamic balance that provides a significant challenge to athletes and physically active individuals. | 4 weeks | 
| Flamingo Balance Test/ Static Balance Evalutaion | The flamingo balance test is a total body balance test in order to test static balance. | 4 weeks | 
| Vertical Jump Test | Vertical jump test to determine an athlete's physical ability. The vertical jump as a test of lower body explosive power | 4 weeks |
