Abstract
Flatfoot, pes planus, or fallen arch is a common disorder that arises from a decrease of the medial longitudinal arch and it is commonly observed in clinical practice which causes pain and difficulty during physical activities. It is the result of the weakness of intrinsic and extrinsic foot muscles. In particular, the tibialis posterior muscle plays an essential role in maintaining the Medial Longitudinal Arch during dynamic weight bearing and balance. In addition, this muscle acts longer than other supination muscles during the stance phase in the gait cycle. So, the strengthening exercises of the tibialis posterior and cryotherapy improves pain and foot function among young adults with flat foot.
