No relationship between foot posture and frontal knee alignment in healthy adolescents

چکیده
Background Foot posture has been suggested to be related to the development of lower-limb musculoskeletal conditions because of its potential influence on the mechanical alignment and dynamic function of the lower limb. During most weight bearing activities, the posture and motion of the foot and knee are coupled within a closed kinematic chain. The exact relationship, however, between them in healthy individuals is not known. The purpose of this study was therefore to investigate if foot posture was related with frontal knee alignment in healthy adolescents.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of fatigue on knee kinematics and kinetics in flat feet people during walking. Methods:...
متن کاملComparison of Postural Alignment in Osteopenic, Osteoporotic, and Healthy Menopausal Women
Background and Objectives: Menopause in women causes problems, including osteoporosis due to hormonal changes. Besides, osteoporosis in postmenopausal women may be associated with musculoskeletal disorders followed by changes in the alignment of the body, especially the spine. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the posture of osteopenic, osteoporotic, and healthy menopausal women. Material...
