This can lead to changes in the ground reaction force (GRF) and center of pressure (COP) of the foot, disrupting postural control strategies, and causing balance issues. This study aimed to determine the effect of strengthening exercises of thigh and abdominal muscles, along with use of a lateral wedge insole (LWI) on balance in young people with genuvarum.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 40 individuals aged 18\u201340 with genuvarum were split into two groups, with 20 people in each group. Participants in one group received only LWI (LWI group), while those in other group received LWI along with thigh and abdominal muscle strengthening exercises (LWI\u2009+\u2009exercises group). Balance tests were conducted before and after the 4\u2010week interventions under barefoot condition on a force plate. The tests included parameters related to COP in single\u2010 and two\u2010legged standing for static balance, and loading rate of F0 and F1 while walking, peak vertical GRF, and time to reach stability while jumping\u2010landing test for dynamic balance.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In the comparison between LWI\u2009+\u2009exercises group and LWI group, there was a significant decrease in variables related to COP during single\u2010leg standing and F1 loading rate during walking (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Incorporating muscle strengthening exercises targeting muscles around the thigh and abdominal region, in addition to using LWI, can be beneficial in individuals\u2019 rehabilitation with genuvarum, helping to prevent injuries related to poor posture control.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Trial Registration:<\/jats:bold> The current study was a randomized clinical trial, registered in the Iranian registry of clinical trials (registration number: IRCT20221103056387N1).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hsr2.70509","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,19]],"date-time":"2025-03-19T04:44:30Z","timestamp":1742359470000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effect of Lateral Wedge Insole With and Without Thigh and Abdominal Muscle Strengthening Exercises on the Balance of Young People With Genuvarum: A Randomize Controlled Trial"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Nafiseh","family":"Shahri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Rehabilitation, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0652-6025","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aliyeh","family":"Daryabor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthotics and Prosthetics Physiotherapy Research Center, School of Rehabilitation, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mehdi","family":"Rezaei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Rehabilitation, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abbas","family":"Rahimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Rehabilitation, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,18]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"Management of Common Musculoskeletal Disorders: Physical Therapy Principles and Methods","year":"2006","author":"Hertling D.","key":"e_1_2_13_2_1"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"471","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gaitpost.2007.06.002","article-title":"The Relation Between Postural Stability and Weight Distribution in Healthy Subjects","volume":"27","author":"Anker L.
