The Effects of Sitting Posture on the Volume of the Foot*

Ergonomics, 1969
Abstract The feeling of heaviness in the legs and distension of the feet which appears during prolonged sitting posture are due to an increase of volume of the lower limbs. Volume changes of the foot were recorded continuously on 32 subjects, during 78 experiments from 1 to 2 hours, with a constant water level plethysmograph. Results obtained were: (a)

The effect of posture on the osseous relations in the foot

Foot and Ankle Surgery, 2016
Discrepancies observed between clinical findings and a weightbearing foot X-ray might be caused by a patients' positioning. This study's main objective was to determine the effect of a subjects' posture on the osseous relations of the foot.Anatomical markers were placed on the skin of the foot of 17 subjects.

Development and validation of a novel rating system for scoring standing foot posture: The Foot Posture Index

Clinical Biomechanics, 2006
The limitations of clinical methods for appraising foot posture are well documented. A new measure, the Foot Posture Index is proposed, and its development and validation described.A four-phase development process was used: (i) to derive a series of candidate measures, (ii) to define an appropriate scoring system, (iii) to evaluate the validity of ...

Effect of Foot Posture and Inverted Foot Orthoses on Hallux Dorsiflexion

Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, 2006
A pronated foot posture is considered to be a factor in limitation of dorsiflexion at the first metatarsophalangeal joint during weightbearing. Customized foot orthoses are widely used to increase dorsiflexion at the first metatarsophalangeal joint in people with pronated feet.

Reliability of the Foot Posture Index and Traditional Measures of Foot Position

Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, 2003
Repeatable measures are essential for clinicians and researchers alike. Both need baseline measures that are reliable, as intervention effects cannot be accurately identified without consistent measures. The intrarater and interrater reliability of the new Foot Posture Index and current podiatric measures of foot position were assessed using a same ...

Foot posture in a primitive pterosaur

Nature, 1998
The nature of the hindlimb posture and gait of pterosaurs has been controversial1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16, partly because most of the pterosaur skeletons that have been found were flattened in thin-bedded rocks, therefore obscuring three-dimensional anatomy.

POSTURE AND THE ARTERIAL PRESSURE IN THE ISCHAEMIC FOOT

Age and Ageing, 1983
Systolic blood pressures were measured at the ankle by Doppler ultrasound sphygmomanometry in a series of elderly patients. Twenty-four limbs were affected by severe occlusive arterial disease and in 15 limbs there was no good evidence of significant peripheral vascular insufficiency.

Foot Shape and Asymmetry in the Charcot Foot: Assessment Using the Foot Posture Index

Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, 2020
Background: Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN), or the Charcot foot, is a complication usually associated with diabetes that frequently results in changes in foot shape and structure that have an effect on function and risk of ulceration.

Mechanism of the postural vasoconstrictor response in the human foot

Clinical Science, 1988
1. The mechanism of postural vasoconstriction in the skin of the foot was examined in 102 healthy subjects by using laser Doppler flowmetry. 2. In 45 subjects, when one foot was lowered 50 cm below heart level and the other foot kept horizontal, blood flow was progressively reduced in the dependent foot (by 79%) with a concomitant, but ...
