The goal of this study is to see the effect of the combination of biodex balance system and short foot exercise in the treatment of subjects with flexible flat foot. The main question is the effect of biodex balance training and short foot exercise on myoelectric activity of subjects with flexible flat foot experimental participant will receive biodex balance system exercise and short foot exercise for 4 weeks controlled participant will receive short foot exercise and stretching exercise for 4 weeks Assessment will be done pre and post treatment by using Navicular drop test Myoelectric activity of paraspinal muscle Dynamic balance Pain severity Functional ankle instability inder

The Biodex Balance System has a wide range of clinical applications and provides objective measures from testing that can be used to establish progressions and discharge criteria, as well as be part of a comprehensive Fall Risk Assessment or Fall Screening Program. Balance ability can be assessed either statically or dynamically, as well as bilaterally and unilaterally. It also allows for bilateral comparisons between involved and uninvolved limbs.
Short foot exercise is used as a therapeutic exercise to strengthen intrinsic foot muscles and used as training to create an MLA. It helps improve the balance in functional movement of FF subjects, decreases navicular drop (ND) through intrinsic muscle activation, supports navicular stability, and improves balance
