Centre of pressure progression and gait parameter deviations may be related to second rocker dysfunction in children with flat feet

چکیده
Background The Centre of Pressure Progression (COPP) is thought to be a useful measure of dynamic function of the foot [1]. The COPP has been used as an outcome measure in flat foot surgery, with an improved COPP defining a successful surgical result [2]. It is, however, unclear how the COPP varies in children with flat feet (FF) compared to those with normal arches (NA) and how this relates to dynamic function of the foot. The aim of this study was to quantify the differences in COPP between flat and normal arched children and also assess how these related to temporal-spatial gait parameters.
