Comparison of Plantar Force, Pressure and Impulse During Walking in Men and Women With Flat Feet
Objective: This study aims to compare the variables of plantar force, pressure and impulse during walking in men and women with flat feet. Methods: The study population consists of non-athlete students with and without flat feet. Of these, 48 (male and female) were selected as study samples. The peak pressure, force and impulse on the foot were measured during walking by a foot scanner at a sa...
متن کاملEffect of Fatigue on Knee Kinematics and Kinetics During Walking in Individuals With Flat Feet
Purpose: Flat feet associates with altered knee kinematics, kinetics, as well as knee pain. Fatigue of plantar intrinsic foot muscles may increase the navicular drop. However, it is unclear how fatigue influences the knee pain in individuals with flat feet. 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 کاملAdvances in Curved-Foot Dynamic Walking
Many researchers have successfully designed and built dynamic bipedal walkers with curved feet. The design process for these walkers, however, is typically based on intuition and/or poorly documented, suggesting the opportunity for improvements to be made through more systematic design. The most energy efficient bipeds have curved feet, as studies have shown that replacing point feet with curve...
متن کاملمقایسه فعالیت الکتریکی عضلات ساق پا در افراد با پای صاف و پای طبیعی حین راه رفتن روی نوارگردان با سرعتهای مختلف
Background: The muscles activity of individuals with flat foot play an important role in identifying the causes of these people’s vulnerability. The rate and pattern of muscles activity depends on the speed of walking and so far, difference in muscles activity of individuals with flat foot and normal during walking with different speeds remains unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this inve...
متن کاملThe Effect of Thera-Band Resistance Training on the Electromyography Frequency Spectrum of Trunk and Lower Limb Muscles in Low Back Pain Patients with Pronated Feet During Walking: A Clinical Trial
Background and Objectives: Lower back pain is a common orthopedic illness that has a reasonable relationship to pronated foot. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of resistance training with Thera-Band on the electromyography frequency domain of trunk and lower limb muscles of patients with both low back pain and pronated feet during walking. Materials and Methods: This clinical...
