1.1.1 Objectives:

To explore the influence of pes planus on ankle mobility by review of literatures and present as a

narrative review.

1.1.2 Design:

This preliminary review was conducted to obtain the hypothesis, for the research to correlate the

ankle joint range of motion of participants with pes planus and without pes planus (PP). Recent

manuscripts of past five years (2016-2021) were reviewed from Google Scholar and PubMed

using key words and filters using Boolean operators

1.1.3 Results:

A total of 12 articles were included for the narrative review and the reviewed articles apprise

the influence of pes planus on ankle joint mobility.

1.1.4 Conclusion:

Early identification of the range of motion (mobility) in ankle joint in flat foot will prevent

further complication including tightness and contracture of the structures. The studies

emphasized on kinematic analysis and JROM of ankle in subjects with PP. Also there is lack of

studies on corelation among the Indian young adults.

1.1.5 Key words: Ankle joint mobility, pes planus
