“…Carpintero et al 25) on the other hand, showed that majority of AIS patients had pes cavus with a prevalence of 65.38% of the 138 AIS patients examined. Interestingly, the incidence of the pes cavus did not relate to the severity and location of the scoliotic curves 25) .…”

“…Concerning structural scoliosis and how it relates to lower extremity biomechanics: Apart from apparent leg length discrepancy, AIS has been found to be associated with several lower extremity biomechanics abnormalities [4][5][6] including pes valgus 4) , pes cavus 25) , internal leg rotation 4) , increased femoral shaft angle 26) , increase femoral anteversion/tibial torsion ratio 5) and contractures of hip abductors 27) .…”

Leg length discrepancy is common among patients with scoliosis. Some studies reported reduced functional scoliosis curves with correction of leg length discrepancy. Others, however, have shown that induced leg length discrepancy has little effects on spinal deformities. Also, small number of studies assessed the use of foot orthoses in patients with faulty foot biomechanics and their impact on idiopathic scoliosis. In this context, a review of the literature is needed to determine the current evidence for the appropriate use of sole lift and foot orthoses in a context of scoliosis. [Methods] A literature review was performed. [Results] It appeared that sole lifts are indicated for functional lumbar scoliosis when the level of the sacrum is parallel to that of the hips. Sole lifts may not be indicated for patients with structural scoliosis, seemingly inducing a compensatory curve. Custom foot orthoses were found to reduce spinal curves in juvenile patients with mild idiopathic scoliosis and concomitant abnormal foot biomechanics. [Conclusion] Sole lift appeared to be indicated in the presence of certain types of functional scoliosis. Custom foot orthoses can be considered in the management of mild idiopathic scoliosis in juvenile patients. Evidence, however, is low and quality studies are needed to validate these findings.

“…The study of Cole (1983) indicated several forms of claw foot, with specific anatomical features and different outcomes. This deformity is often associated with scoliosis and it may be secondary to altered balance or to disorders of the central nervous system, as shown by Carpintero et al (1994). In a multidisciplinary study of Tynan et al (1992), it was found that in the majority of cases of claw foot, the peroneal compartment was enlarged in relation to the anterior compartment when compared to the normal controls.…”

Plantar pressure distribution analysis in normal weight young women and men with normal and claw feet: A cross-sectional study

We analyzed the plantar support in 72 normal-weight young voluntaries (46 women, 26 men), by a baropodometric platform. We considered subjects with claw foot (CFS) and subjects with normal foot (NFS). We found a significant reduction of total plantar support surface in the CFS (P < 0.0001 for women, P < 0.001 for men), due to the reduction of the forefoot and rear foot areas of both plantar imprints. Indeed, CFS of both sexes exhibited higher values of both plantar pressure and peak pressure, compared to the NFS. Moreover, the load per units of plantar surface increased in CFS compared to the NFS. In conclusion, the reduction of plantar support surfaces in CFS of both sexes was associated to a major load per units of plantar surface in the forefoot and rear foot areas, and this may be a risk factor to lower extremity overuse injuries.

“…Having in mind this observation many authors studied the relationship between foot morphology (especially pes cavus) and scoliosis, as it is thought these pathologic conditions may share a common origin. All of them pointed out that there is such a relationship and also that patients with scoliosis are more likely to have cavus foot than the people without scoliosis [57]. The authors investigated whether there is such a relationship in a large Greek children population derived from the SSS program.…”

The Relationship Between Pes Cavus and Idiopathic Scoliosis

Abstract: There was a significant correlation between scoliosis and pes cavus--spina bifida was not an etiologic factor. Therefore, in certain patients where scoliosis and pes cavus present jointly, deformity may be secondary to altered balance or to disorders of the central nervous system.
