“…According to the current study, the apparent importance of anthropometric variables in running speed may have biomechanical implications. Although researchers have explored the general association between foot structure and ankle muscle strength [ 30 ], few studies have investigated foot and ankle structure and their correlation with functional abilities in sprinting. A recent study indicated the influence of the foot proportions on running speed [ 31 ].…”

Elite athletes differ from each other in their characteristics according to their discipline. This study aimed to identify performance predictors in elite Croatian sprinters taking into consideration their anthropometric, psychological and genetic characteristics. One hundred and four elite Croatian sprinters (68 males and 36 females) participated in this study. Of them, 38 are currently competing in the 100-metre dash. The others are former sprinters. The participants underwent direct anthropometric assessment. Participants were also tested by means of the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 and for ACE and ACTN3 polymorphisms. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to identify the best model for performance prediction. Different models were developed for males and females. Anthropometric traits accounted for 44% of the variance in performance for males, 62% for females. Once other traits (psychological for females) were entered into the model, no additional contribution to the variance was observed. The most significant predictors of higher running velocity were bicristal diameter and foot dimensions in males, and leg length and clean one-repetition maximum in females. The findings suggest that performance in sprinters is associated with anthropometric characteristics, with biomechanical implications that may be used to provide a more complete evaluation of sprinters’ performance.

“…To the best of our knowledge, few studies have focused on investigating the relationships between foot morphology and ankle muscle strength. Zhao et al [28] collected foot morphology and ankle muscle strength through a foot scanner and dynamometer, respectively, and found that foot length and foot width are positively correlated with ankle joint muscle strength. Our study showed that foot length, foot width, and truncated foot length were correlated with toe flexor strength through similar methods of foot morphology measurements.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate if measurements of foot morphology in sitting and standing positions can predict foot muscle strength. Twenty-six healthy male adults were recruited, and their foot morphology and foot muscle strength were measured. Foot morphological variables, toe flexor strength, and metatarsophalangeal joint flexor strength were measured by using a digital caliper, Ailitech-AFG500 dynameter and metatarsophalangeal joint flexor strength tester, respectively. Partial correlation and multivariate stepwise regression were used to explore the relationships between foot morphology and toe/metatarsophalangeal joint strength. Results adjusted by age and body mass index were as follows: (1) truncated foot length in sitting and standing positions and foot width in standing position were positively correlated with the flexor strength of the first toe; (2) foot length, foot width, and truncated foot length in both positions were positively related to the flexor strength of the other toes; (3) arch height index in sitting position and differences in navicular height were negatively associated with the flexor strength of the other toes; (4) differences in foot width were negatively associated with metatarsophalangeal joint flexor strength; and (5) the multivariate stepwise regression model showed that truncated foot length in sitting position, navicular height in standing position, differences in navicular height, foot width in sitting position, and differences in foot width were significantly correlated with toe/metatarsophalangeal joint flexor strength. Simple measurements of foot morphological characteristics can effectively predict foot muscle strength. Preliminary findings provided practical implications for the improvement of the foot ability by making specific foot muscle training sessions in professional sports and by compensating the predicted muscle strength defects to prevent foot injury.

“…Maka dari itu, orang dengan kondisi flat foot mengeluhkan adanya ketidaknyamanan atau rasa sakit yang tidak normal pada kakinya serta adanya gejala klinis seperti ketidakstabilan pergelangan kaki, plantar fasciitis, dan achilles tendinitis, sedangkan adanya tekanan yang terus menerus pada sisi luar atau sisi lateral pada cavus foot dapat menyebabkan terjadinya plantar callus serta lebih banyak mengalami stress fracture. 12,22,25 Pentingnya bagi orang tua untuk mengetahui tipe kaki pada anak, khususnya pada tipe kaki flat foot dan cavus foot karena memiliki insiden stress fractures yang lebih besar dibandingkan dengan tipe arkus normal pada anak yang sama-sama memiliki aktivitas tinggi.…”

Growth and development in children are important. One of these is the development of walking or gait. Some parents often feel worried when their child’s gait pattern looks abnormal, which can be caused by the presence of abnormalities in the type of foot arch. The type of foot arch consists of normal foot, flat foot, and the cavus foot. The foot arch can affect the gait pattern; the gait pattern can be measured with gait parameters. Basic gait parameters which were often used; the cadence, stride length, step length, and speed. The purpose of this research is to analyze the existence of differences in gait parameters in each type of foot arch at elementary school children between aged 10-12 years in West Denpasar. This analytical study was used a cross-sectional study design that was held on March 2019. The number of samples in the study were 113 people (58 men, 55 women) between aged 10-12 years. The type of foot arch measured the independent variable by doing the footprint, and the classification used Clarke's Angle. Measurements of the dependent variables using the different way. Cadence is measured by asking the persons to walk for a minute and then counted the number of their steps in a minute. Measurement of stride length and step length by doing the footprint on the long cover paper. Speed is calculated using the formula of results cadence and stride length. After obtaining the data, the normality test used Kolmogorov Smirnov Test and homogeneity test by Levene's had been done. The analysis used the Kruskal Wallis Test to find out significant mean difference among the group (p = 0.000). Based on this study, it was concluded that there are different gait parameters among normal foot, flat foot and cavus foot in children aged 10-12 years at elementary school in West Denpasar.
