Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of physical therapy - Department of Growth and development disorers pediatrics Summary: Bachground: Flexible flatfeet is the most common foot deformity affecting children and continue through their lives which has been thought to be a causative factor of a lot of lower limb injuries and low back pain. Core muscles act as stabilizers for the trunk and any disturbance or weakness of the core places a person at greater risk of low back pain and lower limb injuries. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of flexible flatfeet on core muscles endurance in adolescents with flexible flatfeet and adolescents with normal feet alignment and to compare differences in core muscles endurance between adolescents with and without flexible flatfeet. Methods: Thirty participants (18 boys and 12 girls) with bilateral flexible flatfeet (study group) were compared with thirty participants (18 boys and 12 girls) with normal feet alignment (control group). Their ages ranged between 10-12 years.A navicular drop test was used to evaluate the medial longitudinal arch. Trunk flexor test, Trunk extensor test, and Lateral musculature tests were used to evaluate the endurance of the core muscles. Results: There was no significant difference between both groups in flexor core endurance (p=0.285), extensor core endurance (p=0.7), left bridge core endurance (p=0.5), and right bridge core endurance (p=0.86). Conclusions: There were no differences in the NDT measures between the right and left sides for the study group. Therefore, bilateral flatfeet did not cause asymmetrical pronation which did not affect the pelvic inclination. This may, in turn, show no differences in lateral muscle core endurance between the two groups. All participants in this study were diagnosed with flexible flatfeet early and no one of them complained of low back pain previously.No significant difference was observed in the trunk flexors and extensors endurance time and no significant difference in lateral core muscles between the study and control groups at early adolescent age
