Effects of excess bodyweight and flexible Flatfoot on female stance-phase lower-limb biomechanics assessed by statistical non-parametric mapping [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThis study investigated the effects of excessive body weight and flexible flatfoot (FFF) on gait patterns in females. Sixty participants were divided into four groups (overweight/obese or normal weight, each with either normal feet or FFF; 15 per group).
