“…However, this difference was due to greater eversion excursion during initial contact rather than during midstance or propulsion as in our study. Other studies that used different reference positions to ours report inconsistent results, with two finding greater peak eversion in pes planus [3,21] compared to three that found no significant differences [8,26,27].…”

“…These findings suggest that pes cavus (high medial longitudinal arch) and pes planus (low medial longitudinal arch) may display abnormal biomechanical parameters that predispose an individual to injury. For example, planus feet demonstrate more motion compared to normal feet during gait [3] and as a consequence, may be susceptible to injuries in soft tissues that oppose this motion [4]. In contrast, cavus feet are thought to exhibit less motion [5] compared to planus feet.…”

“…They also reported different results regarding range of motion (ROM). While some studies observed a decreased ankle ROM of pronated feet in the sagittal plane [15], [16] and increased in the frontal plane [15], [17], [18], other works found no significant differences in any motion plane [19], [20]. At the midtarsal joint, one study observed a decrease in the ROM for pronated feet in the transverse plane [13], although others found no significant differences in any motion plane [19].…”

Effect of static foot posture on the dynamic stiffness of foot joints during walking

This study aimed to analyse the dynamic stiffness of foot joints during gait in the sagittal plane in feet with different static foot postures. Seventy healthy adult male subjects with different static postures, assessed by the Foot Posture Index (FPI) (30 normal, 20 highly pronated and 20 highly supinated), were recruited. Kinematic and kinetic data were recorded using an optical motion capture system and a pressure platform, and dynamic stiffness at the different stages of the stance was calculated from the slopes of the linear regression on the flexion moment-angle curves. The effect of foot type on dynamic stiffness and on ranges of motion and moments was analysed using ANOVAs and post-hoc tests, and linear correlation between dynamic stiffness and FPI was also tested. Highly pronated feet showed a significantly smaller range of motion at the ankle and metatarsophalangeal joints and also a larger range of moments at the metatarsophalangeal joint than highly supinated feet. Dynamic stiffness during propulsion was significantly greater at all foot joints for highly pronated feet, with positive significant correlations, although small, with the squared FPI. Highly supinated feet showed greater dynamic stiffness than normal feet, although to a lesser extent. Highly pronated feet during normal gait experienced greatest decrease in the dorsiflexor moments during propulsion. Normal feet were found to be the most balanced regarding work generated and absorbed.

“…Variation from normal foot posture has long been thought to influence function of the foot and lower limb during gait, thereby predisposing to injury [1]. While the link between altered foot posture and injury is still unclear, several studies have demonstrated that foot posture influences lower limb muscle electromyographic (EMG) activity [2] and joint kinematics [3][4][5] during gait.…”
