Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 20–40 with pronation distortion syndrome (functional flexible flat feet, 2nd-degree flat feet, navicular drop >10 mm) without prior lower-limb surgery or neurological balance issues.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals with poor study adherence, ongoing balance-impairing neurological conditions, or other exclusions may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This interventional study enrolls adults aged 20–40 with pronation distortion syndrome at Arif Memorial Teaching Hospital in Lahore. Participants are randomized to receive either routine exercises or NASM-based exercises, along with static and dynamic assessments of the foot and ankle. The goal is to see if NASM exercises improve balance, posture, and proprioception compared with standard exercises. The trial excludes those with prior lower-limb surgery, neurological balance problems, or poor adherence to testing sessions. Outcome measures include pre- and post-test assessments of foot mechanics, alignment, and balance performance.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, NASM exercises could improve balance, posture, and proprioception in people with pronation distortion syndrome.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work suggests targeted foot-ankle exercises can improve mechanics and balance in similar conditions, making this approach plausible.
