Foot Posture Index: A Reliable, Valid, Simple to Use Measure of Static Alignment and Foot Type
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 barefootwalking, walking on uneven surfaces [4], and occupational/ recreational demands from sports and/or injuries result in foot shape which is recognized as foot type [5].

Objective: Flexed posture students who had hyperkyphosis (HKP) and forward head posture (FHP) due to changes in the spine alignment leads to displacement of the center of pressure and increased postural sways which ultimately disrupts the distribution of foot pressure. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the effect of eight weeks of National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and Sha...
متن کاملClinical measures of static foot posture do not agree
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the level of agreement between common clinical foot classification measures. METHODS Static foot assessment was undertaken using the Foot Posture Index (FPI-6), rearfoot angle (RFA), medial longitudinal arch angle (MLAA) and navicular drop (ND) in 30 participants (29 ± 6 years, 1.72 ± 0.08 m, 75 ± 18 kg). The right foot was measured on two occ...
متن کاملAre 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...
متن کاملThe 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 ...
