Journal ArticleDOI
ISB Clinical Biomechanics Award 2009: Toe weakness and deformity increase the risk of falls in older people
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that poor toe flexor strength and toe deformities would increase the risk of falls in community-dwelling older people, and interventions designed to increase strength of the toe flexors combined with treatment of those older individuals with toe deformation may be beneficial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obesity and pronated foot type may increase the risk of chronic plantar heel pain: a matched case-control study
TL;DR: Obesity and pronated foot posture are associated with CPHP and may be risk factors for the development of the condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validity of 3 Clinical Techniques for the Measurement of Static Foot Posture in Older People
TL;DR: Clinical measurements of AI, NH, and FPI provide valid information regarding the structure of the medial longitudinal arch; however, each test may reflect different aspects of arch structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic imaging for chronic plantar heel pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TL;DR: Analysis of 23 studies investigating the diagnostic imaging appearance of the plantar fascia and inferior calcaneum in people with chronic plantar heel pain found that people with CPHP are likely to have a thickened plantar Fascia with associated fluid collection, and that thickness values >4.0 mm are diagnostic of plantar fasciitis.
Journal ArticleDOI
A protocol for classifying normal- and flat-arched foot posture for research studies using clinical and radiographic measurements
TL;DR: This foot screening protocol provides a coherent strategy for researchers planning to recruit participants with normal- and flat-arched feet and determines whether foot posture variations in the sagittal, transverse or both planes provide the best descriptor of the flat foot.
