A sample of 90 male students from University of Tehran including 30 subjects with normal foot type (mean height: 176.6±6.2 cm, mean weight: 72.8±10.2 kh, mean age 25.3±1.4 yr), 30 subjects with flat foot (mean height: 177.2±7 cm, mean weight: 73.5±11.1 kg, mean age: 25.1±1.4 yr), and 30 subjects with pes cavus (mean height: 174.5±6.3 cm, mean weight: 69.3±11.3 kg, mean age: 25.6±1.7 yr) participated in this study. To determine the foot anatomic type, navicular drop test was used. To assess subjects’ balance, SEBT was used. To analyze the research data, MANOVA test was applied. The results showed a significance difference in SEBT performance among groups. Linear coefficients showed that medial and posterolateral reaches played a greater role in differentiating the groups. Specifically, medial reach significantly played a role in differentiating flat foot group and posterolateral reach in differentiating pes cavus group from other groups. As those with pes cavus apply more pressure on lateral margin of their foot, it seems that the stability domain is larger in lateral margin while the reverse is true about those with flat foot. As a whole, it can be concluded that foot anatomical characteristics influence dynamic balance.}, keywords = {Dynamic balance,Flat foot,Pes Cavus,star excursion balance test}, url = {https://sshr.ut.ac.ir/article_24187.html}, eprint = {https://sshr.ut.ac.ir/article_24187_9c78c03ca0d29a5304f1209924dfb1e6.pdf} }
