Foot Muscle Strength, Muscle Shortness, Balance, and Shoe Preferences in Different Foot Postures

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the foot muscle strength, shortness, tibialis posterior endurance, balance, and shoe preference differences between neutral pronated posture.
 Methods: Forty-nine participants consisting 23 women 26 men, age 18 45 years were participated in study. Foot posture, medial longitudinal arch height, gastrocnemius hamstring ankle 
 static preferences evaluated. Subjects recruited into two groups according their posture evaluated with Posture Index: as those Results: Navicular drop, gastrocnemius, shortness significantly higher compared (p0.05).
 Conclusion: Flexibility muscles reduced, but balance remained unaffected young individuals excessive pronation. Moreover, may not affect people. Although all age-related biomechanical effects pronation are well known yet, seems arise earlier than weakness reduced
