Effects of CAD/CAM insoles and exercise on medial longitudinal arch and foot function in adolescents with flexible pes planus

The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of CAD/CAM-produced insoles and exercise on foot function and medial longitudinal arch (MLA) flexibility in adolescents aged 10-19 years diagnosed with painful flexible pes planus. A total of 42 individuals with painful flexible pes planus were divided into 2 groups by computer-aided randomization method, 21 individuals were included in the insole group and 21 individuals were included in the insole plus exercise group. Foot function index (FFI) was used to evaluate foot function of adolescents with painful flexible pes planus and navicular drop test (NDT) was used to determine medial longitudinal arch flexibility. Post-treatment navicular drop test scores in adolescents with painful flexible pes planus were significantly lower in the insole and insole plus exercise groups. (p
