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

High blood sugar levels are a symptom of diabetes mellitus (DM), a metabolic condition brought on by insulin insufficiency as a result of pancreatic dysfunction and insulin resistance. Reduced perception of touch, warmth, pain, and proprioceptive input are symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), which impairs perception of ambulation and raises the risk of falls. A doctor diagnosed the patient, a 62-year-old woman, with type 2 diabetes ten years ago. The patient is free of cerebral ataxia, neurological, and cardiovascular conditions, and is able to walk without the need for assistance. It was noted that the patient had fallen once in the previous twelve months. The patient has good verbal comprehension skills. Between the patients who exercised walking and those who did not, there was a notable difference. The sixth exercise, when the score displays the maximum number, is where the average training score indicates improvement. The T6 score on the MNSI exam revealed a value of 1.5. Pain during rest, standing, walking, and during vigorous activity all showed a maximum decline in measurements at T6. Similar to previous measurements, T6 is where the maximum value is found. Walking is thought to help diabetes patients with peripheral neuropathy with their balance, strengthen their lower limb muscles, reduce discomfort, enhance cognitive function, enhance psychosocial elements, enhance quality of life, and enhance social interaction.
