The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of CAD/CAM-produced insoles and exercise on foot function and medial longitudinal arch (MLA) flexibility in adolescents aged 10-19 years diagnosed with painful flexible pes planus. A total of 42 individuals with painful flexible pes planus were divided into 2 groups by computer-aided randomization method, 21 individuals were included in the insole group and 21 individuals were included in the insole plus exercise group. Foot function index (FFI) was used to evaluate foot function of adolescents with painful flexible pes planus and navicular drop test (NDT) was used to determine medial longitudinal arch flexibility. Post-treatment navicular drop test scores in adolescents with painful flexible pes planus were significantly lower in the insole and insole plus exercise groups. (p<0.001), In the insole plus exercise group, especially in the right foot, the difference value of the navicular drop score after treatment was found to be higher than before treatment (p<0.01). Foot function index sub-parameters and total score were found to be significantly lower in both groups after treatment (p<0.001), but there was no difference between the groups (p>0.05). In conclusion; it was found that CAD/CAM insoles improved FFI parameters in adolescents with painful flexible pes planus. However, it was found that the effects of sole insoles and exercise plus insoles were similar on these parameters and that exercise has no additional benefit over insoles. However, it was found that exercise was more effective in improving the amount of navicular drop.
