      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Health service research, Randomization description: Simple randomization
Randomization Unit: Individual
Randomization tool: Sealed envelope
There is no concealment
Each person participating in the study will be given 3 identical envelopes in which the name of the intended intervention will be written in each envelope. One envelope with muscle strengthening intervention, one envelope with foot orthosis intervention, one envelope with muscle strengthening intervention and foot orthosis. After choosing the envelope, the content of the envelope will be seen and the person will be considered in the group. In this study, people are aware of all types of therapeutic interventions and blinding does not occur.</study_design>
      <phase>N/A</phase>
      <hc_freetext>Flexible flat foot.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: First intervention group: Muscle strengthening. Each person is evaluated individually. The foot posture index is determined for each person and a score is given to each person. The type of daily shoes of the person and the level of his activity are questioned. Necessary strengthening exercises, which include walking on the toe and the outer edge of the foot, gathering a towel with the toes, and pulling a rope, were given to the people of this group, and the number of times and how to repeat them were taught under the supervision of a physiotherapist to be performed at home. In addition, the examiner checks how to do the exercises on a daily and weekly basis. The plantar pressure of the foot is recorded with the RSscan device and the data is analyzed with the software. A person's walking speed is controlled by the sensors of the device. Intervention 2: Second intervention group: Foot orthosis. Foot posture index is determined for each person and each person is given a score. The type of daily shoes of the person and the level of his activity are questioned. A pair of functional foot orthosis is prepared for each subject. The orthoses are placed inside the appropriate shoes. It is explained to the person that he should avoid wearing inappropriate shoes while studying and it is better to use sports and medical shoes. The plantar pressure of the foot is recorded with the RSscan device and the data is analyzed with the software. A person's walking speed is controlled by the sensors of the device. Intervention 3: Third intervention group: Foot orthosis and Muscle strengthening. Foot posture index is determined for each person and each person is given a score. The type of daily shoes of the person and the level of his activity are questioned. A pair of functional foot orthosis is prepared for each subject. The orthoses are placed inside the appropriate shoes. It is explained to the person that he should avoid wearing inappropriate shoes while studying and it is better to use sports and medical shoes.
