[Retracted] Effects of Plyometric Exercises versus Flatfoot Corrective Exercises on Postural Control and Foot Posture in Obese Children with a Flexible Flatfoot

Table 2

Corrective exercises and activities for the flexible flatfoot adopted from Riccio et al. [6].

Aim	Exercises and activities
Flexibility	Passive range of motion exercises and global movement of the ankle and all foot joints; stretching of the calf and peroneus brevis muscles
Strengthening, proprioception, and balance	Anterior and posterior tibialis muscles and the flexor hallucis longus (to neutralize valgus), intrinsic, interosseus plantaris muscles, and the abductor hallucis (to prevent anterior arch flattening); global activation/movement of the muscles involved in maintaining the medial longitudinal arch and the varus; single-leg weight bearing (with pronation control); toe and heel walking; descending an inclined surface
