Relationships between foot type and dynamic rearfoot frontal plane motion

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2010
Background The Foot Posture Index (FPI) provides an easily applicable, validated method for quantifying static foot posture. However there is limited evidence relating to the ability of the FPI to predict dynamic foot function. This study aimed to assess

The Influence of Pronated Foot Posture on Knee Isokinetic Strength, Static and Dynamic Postural Stability in Healthy Young Individuals

Physical Therapy Korea, 2021
Background: The foot is a complex body structure that plays an important role in static and dynamic situations. Previous studies have reported that altered foot posture might affect knee joint strength and postural stability, however their relationship

The association of foot posture and osteoarthritis of the medial compartment of the knee joint: A literature review

Indian Journal of Rheumatology, 2022
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee joint (KOA) is a major cause of morbidity among older adults. Medial compartment KOA (MCKOA) is the more common form. High body mass index (BMI), obesity, and older age are some of the risk factors for KOA.

Scaling and ecomorphology of lagomorph body shape and appendicular skeleton

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Body shape is one of the most prominent features of phenotypic variation. Yet, mammalian body shapes are poorly quantified and the underlying components contributing to its diversity and its relationship to other skeletal components are rarely tested.

Local variation in age‐related cortical expansion within and between cross‐sections of distal human long bones

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Cortical bone expansion is an age‐related process where, through endosteal resorption and periosteal apposition, cross‐sectional diameter increases while cortical thickness decreases in long bone diaphyses. Local variation has been observed in this process between cross‐sectional locations, but few studies have examined directional variation ...

A Comparison of Ankle Joint Position Sense in Female Students with and without Pronated and Supinated Foot [PDF]

Sport Sciences and Health Research, 2016
Since musculoskeletal disorders may impair proprioceptive function, the aim of this study was to compare the ankle joint position sense (AJPS) in female students with and without pronated and supinated foot. So, 87 Subjects were divided into three groups

Donor‐To‐Recipient Mean Axonal Count Ratios of Upper Limb Nerves Used in Nerve Transfer Surgery: A Systematic Review of Histomorphometric Cadaveric Studies

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nerve transfer surgery may be performed to restore sensorimotor function following peripheral nerve trauma or dysfunction. There is biological plausibility and limited correlative evidence that donor‐to‐recipient axon count ratios may impact functional outcomes.

Foot characteristics and mechanics in individuals with knee osteoarthritis: systematic review and meta‐analysis

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2021
Background Foot characteristics and mechanics are hypothesized to affect aetiology of several lower extremity musculoskeletal conditions, including knee osteoarthritis (KOA).

Prevention of Work‐Related Musculoskeletal Disorders and Career Sustainability in Head and Neck Reconstructive Surgery: Integrating Ergonomics and Physical Conditioning

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Head and neck reconstructive and plastic surgery exposes surgeons to prolonged static posture, sustained visualization of a narrow operative field, cervical and shoulder loading, fine‐motor work, and extended standing. These demands create a substantial occupational musculoskeletal burden.
