Foot Biomechanics, Body Composition, and Sex-Related Factors Associated With Work-Related Musculoskeletal Discomfort in Standing Assembly-Line Workers: A Cross-Sectional Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Prolonged standing is common in manufacturing and assembly‐line work and is associated with musculoskeletal discomfort, especially in the lower limbs and spine. The influence of foot posture, morphology, and plantar loading patterns on this discomfort remains unclear.

A comparison of the free moment pattern between normal and hyper-pronated aligned feet in female subjects during the stance phase of gait [PDF]
Background: Excessive range of adductory free moment of the ground reaction force may potentially increase the risk of lower extremity injuries by applying a higher torsional load transmitted to the proximal parts. Objective: It was hypothesized that the

Association of planus foot posture and pronated foot function with foot pain: the Framingham foot study. [PDF]
ObjectiveTo examine the associations of foot posture and foot function to foot pain.MethodsData were collected on 3,378 members of the Framingham Study cohort who completed foot examinations in 2002–2008. Foot pain (generalized and at 6 locations) was based on the response to the following question: “On most days, do you have pain, aching or stiffness ...

Foot Shape in Women With and Without Hallux Valgus Determined Using 3-Dimensional Foot Scanning. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction Hallux valgus (HV) is a prevalent forefoot deformity that alters foot shape and occurs more frequently in women and older adults. Few studies have investigated the influence of HV on three‐dimensional (3D) foot structure in age‐matched samples. Methods This cross‐sectional study utilised data from two separate studies conducted in

Background: A pronated foot can produce changes in the lower limb kinetic chain. This can affect the gait and increase energy expenditure. However, the relationship between pronated foot and other static alignment factors remains poorly understood. Hence,

CORRECTION OF THE PRONATED FOOT [PDF]
1. A simple model embracing both the hind and forefoot is described. 2. From this model the expected results of various methods of correcting the pronated foot can be deduced, and these were confirmed by human experiment. 3. It is indicated that a permanent correction requires a biological modification of foot posture achieved by mechanical means.

The effects of pronated foot posture and medial heel and sole wedge
Introduction: Aging has been associated with increasing foot pronation and changes in foot mobility which may influence standing balance. Orthotic interventions change foot posture and load distribution under the foot and therefore may have important ...
