Low Dye Taping as a Conservative Intervention for Flat Foot: A Literature Review [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic ResearchFlat foot, also known as pes planus is a very common foot deformity which presents itself through the collapse of the medial longitudinal arch. There is an increase in plantar pressure and biomechanical changes due to the collapse of the medial ...

Using surface markers to describe the kinematics of the medial longitudinal arch
Gait & Posture, 2023 Static and dynamic assessment of the medial longitudinal arch (MLA) is an essential aspect for measuring foot function in both clinical and research fields. Despite this, most multi-segment foot models lack the ability to directly track the MLA. This study aimed to assess various methods of MLA assessment, through motion capture of surface markers on ...

Footprint an insight for medial longitudinal arch
Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology, 2019 Introduction: Medial Longitudinal Arch (MLA) is important for the foot, since it provides necessary shock absorption during movement. Its estimation can be done by various techniques, viz navicular height method, footprint, radiography. On the footprint various indexes have been suggested by researchers.

Effectiveness of jumping rope combined with short foot exercise on the medial longitudinal arch in a patient with flat foot: A case report [PDF]
Journal of Sports and Rehabilitation SciencesA flat foot is a deformity that leads to the collapse of the medial longitudinal arch. Flat foot may be congenital or acquired, which can be treated with various exercises; short foot exercise is where the head of the first metatarsal is pulled towards ...

Body weight and the medial longitudinal foot arch: high-arched foot, a hidden problem? [PDF]
European Journal of Pediatrics, 2013 This study had two objectives. First, to determine the prevalence of hollow (high-arched) and flat foot among primary school children in Cracow (Poland). Second, to evaluate the relationship between the type of medial longitudinal arch (MLA; determined by the Clarke's angle) and degree of fatness.

Evaluating the Medial Longitudinal Arch of the Foot: Correlations, Reliability, and Accuracy in People With a Low Arch [PDF]
Physical Therapy, 2018 Abstract Background The medial longitudinal arch of the foot is a variable structure, and a decrease in its height could affect several functions and increase the risk of injuries in the lower limbs. There are many different techniques for evaluating it.
