Deformities of the foot result in loss walking function. The skeletal structure develops during childhood, and quantitative assessment is warranted. In healthy children, length navicular height have been studied individually; however, has not sufficiently its entirety, growth curve clarified. particular, heel an important site influencing biomechanics. this study, we developed a three-dimension...

CONTEXT Flat foot is one of the lower extremity deformities that might change kinetic variables of gait. Fatigue is one of the factors that can alter the vertical ground-reaction force (GRF). The effect of a fatiguing condition on vertical GRF has not been documented in individuals with flat feet. OBJECTIVE To examine the fatigue effect on vertical GRF in individuals with flat feet compared w...

BACKGROUND Double-leg forward or drop-jump landing activities are typically used to screen for high-risk movement strategies and to determine the success of neuromuscular injury prevention programs. However, research suggests that these tasks that occur primarily in the sagittal plane may not adequately represent the lower extremity biomechanics that occur during unilateral foot contact or non-...

The biomechanics of human motion is a fascinating field. Who among us has never marveled at the graceful motions of a dancer or the rapid finger movements of a musician? From the time of Aristotle onward there have been countless books written on the topic of movement in animals and humans. Despite the great minds that have considered the topic, it is just recently that much advancement has bee...

Previous studies have identified two discrete strategies for the control of posture in the sagittal plane based on EMG activations, body kinematics, and ground reaction forces. The ankle strategy was characterized by body sway resembling a single-segment-inverted pendulum and was elicited on flat support surfaces. In contrast, the hip strategy was characterized by body sway resembling a double-...

Ligamentous injury of the tarsometatarsal joint complex 1s an uncommon, but disabling condition that frequently oeeurs In elite athlegs. There are few options for managing these injuries, in part because the relative mechanical contribution of the ligaments af the tarsomcJtatars'sal joint is unknown, complicating decisions regarding which ligaments need reconstruction. In the current study, str...

BACKGROUND Flat foot, as one of the common foot deformities can affect gait biomechanics and risk of lower extremity injury. Fatigue, as a high load task, can also change biomechanical parameters of locomotion. Studying normal and flat footed individuals under high load tasks such as fatigue can elucidate their differences more easily. OBJECTIVES In this study, center of pressure (CoP) change...

Foot pain is highly prevalent in older people and has a significant detrimental impact on mobility and quality of life. In recent years, there has been increased interest in exploring the biomechanical factors that may contribute to the development of foot disorders and the associated impairment of mobility in this age group. Studies have shown that with advancing age, there is a general tenden...
