It is not uncommon for a person's foot posture and/or mobility to be assessed during a clinical examination. The exact relationship, however, between static posture and mobility is not known.
The purpose of this study was to determine the degree of association between static foot posture and mobility.
The static foot posture and foot mobility of 203 healthy individuals was assessed and then analyzed to determine if low arched or "pronated" feet are more mobile than high arched or "supinated" feet.
The study demonstrated that those individuals with a lower standing dorsal arch height and/or a wider standing midfoot width had greater mobility in their foot. In addition, those individuals with higher Foot Posture Index (FPI) values demonstrated greater mobility and those with lower FPI values demonstrated less mobility. Finally, the amount of foot mobility that an individual has can be predicted reasonably well using either a 3 or 4 variable linear regression model.
Because of the relationship between static foot posture and mobility, it is recommended that both be assessed as part of a comprehensive evaluation of a individual with foot problems.
在临床检查中，评估一个人的足部姿势和/或活动度并不罕见。然而，静态姿势和活动度之间的确切关系尚不清楚。
本研究旨在确定静态足部姿势和活动度之间的关联程度。
评估了 203 名健康个体的静态足部姿势和足部活动度，并进行了分析，以确定低拱形或“旋前”足是否比高拱形或“旋后”足更灵活。
研究表明，站立时背弓高度较低和/或站立时中足宽度较宽的个体，其足部活动度更大。此外，足部姿势指数（Foot Posture Index，FPI）值较高的个体活动度较大，而 FPI 值较低的个体活动度较小。最后，使用 3 个或 4 个变量的线性回归模型可以很好地预测个体的足部活动度。
由于静态足部姿势和活动度之间存在关系，建议在全面评估足部问题的个体时，同时评估这两个方面。
