Abstract
The aim of the study was to compare the effect of weight bearing and non-weight bearing exercise on gait parameters in flexible flatfoot children with medial shoe insert. The sample consists of 180 children of both sexes age between 6-10 years diagnosed with flexible flat foot, 60 samples in each group. Group 1 received weight bearing exercise with foot orthotics, group 2 – received non weight bearing exercise with foot orthotics and group 3 received only foot orthotics the design of the study was pre-test, post test control group design. In this study subjects were randomized selected and allocated into any of the three groups by lottery method. Gait parameters such as gait velocity, step length and cadence were the outcome measures. Outcome measures improved in all the three groups due to intervention and foot orthotics. At the same time improvement in Group 1 was better than Group 2 and 3.
