Effect of foot load changes on foot arch evaluation using foot pressure distribution data
Background The foot arch serves important functions in regard to shock absorption and the action of walking. Simple and quantitative classification of foot arch types such as flat foot and high arch would be helpful in health support for the elderly. The present authors have developed a classification system for foot arch type showing high reliability using foot pressure distribution data [1,2]...
متن کاملClassification of the height and flexibility of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot
BACKGROUND The risk of developing injuries during standing work may vary between persons with different foot types. High arched and low arched feet, as well as rigid and flexible feet, are considered to have different injury profiles, while those with normal arches may sustain fewer injuries. However, the cut-off values for maximum values (subtalar position during weight-bearing) and range of m...
متن کاملDoes the weakening of intrinsic foot muscles cause the decrease of medial longitudinal arch height?
[Purpose] There are no reliable evidences that the weakening of intrinsic foot muscles causes the decrease of the medial longitudinal arch (MLA) height. The purpose of this study was to confirm whether the fatigue of intrinsic foot muscles decrease the MLA height during standing and gait using 3D motion analysis system. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty healthy male subjects participated in this st...
متن کاملIntrinsic foot muscles have the capacity to control deformation of the longitudinal arch.
The human foot is characterized by a pronounced longitudinal arch (LA) that compresses and recoils in response to external load during locomotion, allowing for storage and return of elastic energy within the passive structures of the arch and contributing to metabolic energy savings. Here, we examine the potential for active muscular contribution to the biomechanics of arch deformation and reco...
متن کاملThe Effect of Eight Weeks of Kyokushin Karate Training on Leg Muscle Activity and Medial Longitudinal Arch Height of Adolescent Girls With Foot Pronation
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of specialized Kyokushin Karate exercises on the activity of leg muscles and the height of the medial longitudinal arch in adolescent girls with foot pronation. Methods: This study recruited twenty-four adolescent girls with foot pronation who voluntarily agreed to participate and were randomly assigned to either a train...
