Relationship between static foot posture and foot mobility

Relationship between static foot posture and foot mobility

BACKGROUND It is not uncommon for a person's foot posture and/or mobility to be assessed during a clinical examination. The exact relationship, however, between static posture and mobility is not known. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the degree of association between static foot posture and mobility. METHOD The static foot posture and foot mobility of 203 healthy indiv...

The association between measures of static foot posture and foot mobility and foot kinematics during barefoot walking

Background Variations in foot posture are associated with common lower limb injuries. However, there is uncertainty as to which measure of foot posture is the most valid in terms of predicting 3-dimensional kinematics of the foot. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between measures of static foot posture or foot mobility and kinematic variables of the foot during barefoot ...

Foot Posture Index: A Reliable, Valid, Simple to Use Measure of Static Alignment and Foot Type

The human foot is much different from other animals in that it had evolved over three-and-a-half million years [1] through a process of phylogenetic development, with bipedal stance the very unique distinguishing feature [2]. This bipedal stance and the ontogenetic development that ensues [3], along with physical and psychosocial development of the individual combined with the use of barefootwa...

Are clinical measures of foot posture and mobility associated with foot kinematics when walking?

BACKGROUND There is uncertainty as to which foot posture measures are the most valid in terms of predicting kinematics of the foot. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of clinical measures of static foot posture and mobility with foot kinematics during barefoot walking. METHOD Foot posture and mobility were measured in 97 healthy adults (46 males, 51 females; mean age 24...
