Foot Progression Angle Modulates Three‐Dimensional Lower‐Limb Biomechanics in Flexible Flatfoot: Kinematic–Kinetic Patterns and Clinical Implications [PDF]
Journal of Foot and Ankle ResearchIntroduction 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.
