Abstract

Background: Adult Flat foot is a condition in which the foot does not have the normal arch of the foot and occurs in adulthood. Someone who experiences flat feet will tend to decrease the quality of walking, including activities that require agility or agility. One of the treatments that can be given for flat foot cases is the provision of a custom insole in the form of medial arch support. Medial arch supports are designed to control the alignment and function of the foot and lower limbs and are used to limit movements such as overpronation. Objective: To decide the long-term impact of utilizing custom insoles on nimbleness in grown-up flat-foot cases. Method: The inquiry about the plan could be a quasi-experimental sort of investigation with a one-group pre and post-test. The research subjects were 18 students who experienced flat feet. Each investigated subject was given a custom insole mediation for six months and observed every two months. Information examination in this consideration utilised the Combined Tests T-test and the Wilcoxon test. Results: Statistically, there was a significant effect on the use of custom insole on agility as measured by the EST method (t = -3.05, p-value = 0.002), measured by the T-Test method (t = 5.91, p-value = 0.000), and measured by the IAT (z = -2.21, p-value = 0.016). Conclusions: The use of a custom insole affects increasing agility in flat foot conditions, so it is recommended to use a medial arch support in flat foot conditions.

Abstract

Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic condition that increases the risk of foot infections, which may lead to gangrene and, in severe cases, lower limb amputation. Transtibial amputation is among the most common procedures, accounting for approximately 85–90% of all limb amputations. The use of a prosthesis is expected to enhance the quality of life (QoL) of post-amputation patients, yet outcomes may vary based on individual factors and causes of amputation. Objective This study aimed to assess the quality of life in patients with transtibial prostheses following amputation due to diabetes mellitus. Methods This descriptive study used observation sheets to evaluate prosthesis usage and the Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ) to assess quality of life. Participants were transtibial prosthesis users with a history of amputation due to diabetes mellitus. Results Statistical analysis showed a p-value of 0.606 (p > 0.05), indicating no significant difference in quality of life between diabetic amputees and those amputated due to trauma. However, prosthesis use generally contributed to improved mobility and daily functioning. Conclusion While the cause of amputation (diabetes vs. trauma) did not significantly affect overall quality of life, the use of transtibial prostheses supports functional recovery in post-amputation patients. Further research is needed to explore other factors influencing quality of life outcomes in this population.
