The effect of medial longitudinal arch height and medial longitudinal arch support insoles on postural balance in perimenopausal women [PDF]

Turk J Med Sci, 2019
Background/aim: Changes in balance and postural control have been reported during the perimenopausal period. We investigated the effect of medial longitudinal arch height and medial arch support insoles on postural sway and balance in middle-aged ...

Relationship of Body Mass Index and Footprint Morphology to the Actual Height of the Medial Longitudinal Arch of the Foot [PDF]

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021
[Abstract] The medial longitudinal arch height of the foot is linked to individual characteristics such as sex and body mass index, and these characteristics have been shown to be associated with conditions such as flat feet.

Classification of the height and flexibility of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot [PDF]

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2012
Background The risk of developing injuries during standing work may vary between persons with different foot types. High arched and low arched feet, as well as rigid and flexible feet, are considered to have different injury profiles, while those with ...

Sagittal movement of the medial longitudinal arch is unchanged in plantar fasciitis

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2004
Background: Although a lowered medial longitudinal arch has been cited as a causal factor in plantar fasciitis, there is little experimental evidence linking arch motion to the pathogenesis of the condition.

Medial longitudinal arch mechanics before and after a prolonged run [PDF]

, 2010
Collapse and reformation of the medial longitudinal arch during gait is controlled passively and actively. If either tissue group fatigues over the duration of a run, the change in arch mechanics may increase risk of running injuries.

Rearfoot alignment and medial longitudinal arch configurations of runners with symptoms and histories of plantar fasciitis [PDF]

Clinics, 2011
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare rearfoot alignment and medial longitudinal arch index during static postures in runners, with and without symptoms and histories of plantar fasciitis (PF). INTRODUCTION: PF is the third most common injury in runners but,

A radiographic and anthropometric study of the effect of a contoured sandal and foot orthosis on supporting the medial longitudinal arch [PDF]

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2014
Background In‐shoe foot orthoses improve conditions such as plantar heel pain (fasciitis), probably due to their ability to raise the medial longitudinal arch of the foot and lower the stress on the plantar tissues.

Effects of custom-made 3D-printed insoles on foot and body alignment in stroke survivors: an exploratory pilot randomized controlled trial [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Stroke survivors frequently exhibit foot deformities and postural asymmetry, contributing to gait instability and increased fall risk. This exploratory pilot randomized controlled trial examined the effects of custom-made 3D-printed insoles on

Explainable AI-based clinical decision support system for flatfoot classification using deep learning [PDF]

Frontiers in Digital Health
IntroductionFlatfoot, also known as pes planus, is a deformity of the foot characterized by a decrease or absence of the medial longitudinal arch, which may lead to postural and locomotion abnormalities.MethodsThis study presents a comparative analysis ...

Morphological and evolutionary insights into the keystone element of the human foot's medial longitudinal arch. [PDF]

Commun Biol, 2023
AbstractThe evolution of the medial longitudinal arch (MLA) is one of the most impactful adaptations in the hominin foot that emerged with bipedalism. When and how it evolved in the human lineage is still unresolved. Complicating the issue, clinical definitions of flatfoot in livingHomo sapienshave not reached a consensus. Here we digitally investigate
