Foot Progression Angle Modulates Three-Dimensional Lower-Limb Biomechanics in Flexible Flatfoot: Kinematic-Kinetic Patterns and Clinical Implications. [PDF]
J Foot Ankle ResIntroduction Foot progression angle affects gait and lowerlimb alignment. Altered angles may increase knee and ankle loading and produce tissue loading patterns previously linked to musculoskeletal injury.

Compensatory proximal malalignment despite preserved macroscopic gait in pediatric flexible flatfoot: A dual-level analysis of static alignment and dynamic kinematics. [PDF]
PLoS OneBackground & objectivePrevious biomechanical studies on pediatric flexible flatfoot have treated the subject as a single analytical unit, thus failing to elucidate mechanical transmission within the lower extremity closed kinetic chain.

Comparison of Foot Kinematics Between Normal Arch and Flexible Flatfoot Using the Oxford Foot Model: A Matched Case-Control Study. [PDF]
Foot Ankle OrthopBackground: Symptomatic flexible flatfoot causes alterations in gait, but exactly how this condition affects the intersegmental motion of the foot during the gait cycle remains unclear. Previous studies have examined the kinematics, yielding inconsistent
