Official title

Effects of Intrinsic Foot Muscle With and Without Hip Abductor Muscle Strengthening Training in Overweight Females With Pronation Distortion Syndrome

Overview

pronation distortion syndrome is a common postural distortion of the lower extremity, involving the anterior part of the leg. It may cause pain in the leg and disturbances in the tarsal part, in addition to distal and proximal parts. In this deformity, the head of the talus and navicular bones are rotated inward and downward, and the body's center of gravity shifts inward, resulting in flat feet. It is also associated with a union and increased pressure on the medial parts of the first and second metatarso phalangeal joints. The characteristics of pronation distortion syndrome due to excessive foot pronation include inward rotation of the tibia, internal rotation of the thighs associated with flat feet, genu valgum (knock-knee), and increased lordosis in case of hyperpronation. The randomized clinical trial study design will be used with the sample of 48 womens. The data will be collected from ganga ram hospital and mukhtara rafique welfare hospital by using convenient sampling technique.The inclusion criteria Ages 30-35 years, Female gender, BMI of overweight women (25-29.9). Foot pronation on observation, Navicular Drop Test more than 10mm (measured in weight bearing and non-weight bearing positions distance between ground and navicular tuberosity and difference calculated), Increased Q angle :females 15-18. The exclusion criteria is Other deformities such as tarsal coalition and vertical talus, BMI under weight,normal,obese.Any history of surgery involving both lower extremities.and Neuromuscular disorder(GBS,MG,Muscular dystrophies extremities)\|.The tools used is Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Navicular drop test, Goniometer for Q angle measurement, and Lower extremity functional scale (LEFS). Data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 26,0.

Interventions

  • Other Intrinsic foot muscle training
    Technique In intrinsic foot muscle training, there are following exercises: 1. Toe spread out 2. First toe extension 3. Second to fifth toe extension The exercise would be performed in following positions 1. Sitting position for the first 2 weeks (3sec hold; 4 sets ×15 reps) 2. Standing position on the 3rd and 4th weeks (8sec hold; 4 sets × 8 reps) 3. One-leg standing position during the 5th and 6th week (20 sec hold;4 sets ×3 reps)
  • Other hip abductor muscle training with intrinsic foot muscle training
    Hip abductor muscle training consists of the following two exercise 1. Resisted hip abduction 90° (2 sec hold; 3 sets × 10 reps) 2. Resisted hip abduction 45° (2 sec hold; 3 sets × 10 reps) Standard treatment * Shoe insoles (eight hours a day, medial longitudinal arch support,raised for by about 1.8 cm) * Stretching of Hamstrings and Calf muscles (3 times for 30 seconds hold) Number of Sessions Per Week : 3 times Per week for 6 weeks

Primary outcome measures

  • Goniometer [Time frame: baseline and fourth week]
