The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of functional fatigue in flat feet and normal feet subjects. This study is not randomized and not blinded. 32 subjects (16 normal feet and 16 bilateral flexible flat feet) without any visual malalignment in lower extremity and lumbosacral area will complete three trials of barefoot walking across the force plates before fatigue. These three trials will be repeated after warm-up and doing functional fatigue protocol for each subject. Different components of ground reaction force will be analyzed.
