As foot orthotics widely is prescribed for the control of flatfoot. Mechanism of these devices’ effects on balance are not fully clear yet and need to be evaluated and quantified by using proper instruments beside clinical observations. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the immediate effect of UCBL, Functional and Modified UCBL foot orthosis on dynamic balance of subjects with Flexible Flatfoot Materials & Methods: Twenty men and wemen young adults (23.5) with flexible flatfoot were recruited. Subjects were recruited using non-probability sampling and sample available. Participants performed balance tests in 4 conditions: with shoes, shoes with functional insole, UCBL and modified UCBL foot orthosis on Biodex Balance System. In each of this conditions, total, medial-lateral and anterior-posterior balance sways were recorded and then evaluated. Repeated measures ANOVA test was used for analysis of data. Results: The results of this study showed that Total sways in functional and UCBL insoles were significantly lower than modified UCBL.(P %> http://rehabilitationj.uswr.ac.ir/article-1-1288-en.pdf %P 66-73 %& 66 %! %9 Original %L A-10-1227-1 %+ Tehran University of Medical Science %G eng %@ 2538-6247 %[ 2014
