The validity of footprint-based measures of arch structure: revisiting the debate of fat versus flat feet in adults
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Previous research employing footprint-based measures of arch structure, such as the arch index (AI), have indicated that obesity results in a ‘flatter’ foot type [1]. In the absence of radiographic measures, however, definitive conclusions regarding the osseous alignment of the foot cannot be made. This study evaluated the effect of Body Mass Index (BMI) on radiographic and footprintbased measures of adult arch structure.
