A correlation study between achilles tendon contracture and posterior tibial tendon dysfunction on ankle instability among young adults with pes planus

Background and Objective: Stability is a complex motor task and ankle stability is vital in maintaining the balance of our body. However, the defect of the foot arch, pes planus is found to compromise the ankle stability. The other co-existing factor alongside with pes planus, which are Achilles ten...

Pharmacology Background and Objective: Stability is a complex motor task and ankle stability is vital in maintaining the balance of our body. However, the defect of the foot arch, pes planus is found to compromise the ankle stability. The other co-existing factor alongside with pes planus, which are Achilles tendon contracture (ATC) and posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) were reported to have a negative impact on the ankle instability as well. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between ATC and PTTD with ankle instability among young adults with pes planus. Methods: A correlational study was conducted to investigate the correlation between ATC and PTTD with ankle instability among young adults with pes planus. Young adults from UTAR Sungai Long campus were recruited and screened for the presence of pes planus with Chippaux-Smirek Index (CSI) after obtaining their footprints. Recruited participants were screened for the presence of ATC with Silfverskiold test, presence of PTTD with single heel raise test (SHRT) and presence of ankle instability with Y balance test. Results: Data from 57 out of 177 participants were analyzed. Among the 57 young adults, 31 were male and 26 were female. Pearson Chi-Square and Fisher’s Exact Test revealed that there was no significant relationship between ATC alone with ankle instability, PTTD alone with ankle instability, and both ATC and PTTD with ankle instability among young adults with pes planus. Conclusions: This study concluded that there is no significant relationship between ATC alone with ankle instability, PTTD alone with ankle instability, and both ATC and PTTD with ankle instability among young adults with pes planus. 2022 Final Year Project / Dissertation / Thesis NonPeerReviewed application/pdf http://eprints.utar.edu.my/5299/1/See_Wan_Ni_1903675_Finalized_Thesis.pdf See, Wan Ni (2022) A correlation study between achilles tendon contracture and posterior tibial tendon dysfunction on ankle instability among young adults with pes planus.
