The Relationship Between Pes Planus, Diaphragm, Postural Control, and Plantar Pressure
Our primary aim is to compare diaphragm function (resting thickness, activity/resting thickness ratio indicating contractility), postural control, and plantar pressure between individuals with pes planus and healthy controls without pes planus.
