Journal ArticleDOI
Biomechanics of the Ageing Foot and Ankle: A Mini-Review
TL;DR: Plantar pressure analysis technology has considerable potential to assist in optimising the design of interventions to redistribute load away from high-pressure areas, thereby alleviating foot symptoms and improving mobility in older people.
Journal ArticleDOI
Foot posture, foot function and low back pain: the Framingham Foot Study
Hylton B. Menz,Hylton B. Menz,Alyssa B. Dufour,Jody L. Riskowski,Howard J. Hillstrom,Marian T. Hannan +5 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that pronated foot function may contribute to low back symptoms in women and interventions that modify foot function, such as orthoses, may have a role in the prevention and treatment of low back pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
A structural equation model relating impaired sensorimotor function, fear of falling and gait patterns in older people
TL;DR: The findings of this study provide useful insights into the possible mechanisms underlying gait characteristics and risk of falling in older people, particularly the indication that fear-related step length shortening may be maladaptive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Foot posture, range of motion and plantar pressure characteristics in obese and non-obese individuals
Paul A Butterworth,Paul A Butterworth,Donna M. Urquhart,Karl B Landorf,Anita E. Wluka,Flavia M. Cicuttini,Hylton B. Menz +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that obesity increases the stresses applied to the foot directly, via increased bodyweight, and indirectly, via alterations to foot structure, which may partly explain the link between obesity and the development of foot pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-sectional analysis of foot function, functional ability, and health-related quality of life in older people with disabling foot pain
Karen J. Mickle,Karen J. Mickle,Bridget J. Munro,Stephen R. Lord,Hylton B. Menz,Julie R. Steele +5 more
TL;DR: To determine whether disabling foot pain is associated with foot function characteristics, functional ability, and health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) in older adults, a large number of older adults were surveyed.
