Abstract

OBJECTIVES

The aim of this study was to assess the arch height index of pregnant women and its correlation with foot pain, anterior knee pain, and lower back pain.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS

Two hundred and fifteen consenting pregnant women participated in this cross-sectional study. The arch height index was assessed from their foot prints, while pain intensity was rated on a numerical rating scale. Data were summarized with descriptive statistics and the Pearson correlation was used to determine correlations between the variables at p < 0.05.

RESULTS

Of the 215 pregnant women, 123 (57.2%) and 127 (59.9%) had low arch heights on the right and left feet, respectively, and the mean arch height indices were 0.27 ± 0.71 for the right foot and 0.28 ± 0.07 for the left foot. The prevalence of foot, knee, and lower back pain was 65 (30.2%), 43 (20.0%), and 93 (43.3%), respectively. The Pearson correlation analysis did not reveal any significant relationship (p > 0.05) between foot pain and each of the right (r = -0.010, p = 0.886) and left (r = 0.004, p = 0.955) arch indices as well as between knee pain and each of the right (r = 0.042, p = 0.536) and left (r = 0.045, p = 0.515) arch indices. A similar trend was observed for the lower back, which also did not show any significant relationship to each of the right (r = 0.026, p = 0.703) and left (r = 0.097, p = 0.157) arch indices.

CONCLUSION

The study participants had a high prevalence of low foot arches, indicating pes planus. Lower back pain was more common than foot and knee pain. The foot arch heights did not show any relationships between the intensities of foot, anterior knee, and lower back pain.

摘要

目的

本研究旨在评估孕妇足弓高度指数及其与足部疼痛、前膝疼痛和下腰痛的相关性。

受试者和方法

本横断面研究纳入了 215 名同意参与的孕妇。通过足底印迹评估足弓高度指数，疼痛强度采用数字评分量表进行评估。采用描述性统计汇总数据，采用 Pearson 相关分析在 p<0.05 时确定变量之间的相关性。

结果

在 215 名孕妇中，右足和左足低足弓分别为 123 例（57.2%）和 127 例（59.9%），右足和左足的平均足弓高度指数分别为 0.27±0.71 和 0.28±0.07。足部、膝部和下腰痛的患病率分别为 65 例（30.2%）、43 例（20.0%）和 93 例（43.3%）。Pearson 相关分析显示，足部疼痛与右足（r=-0.010，p=0.886）和左足（r=0.004，p=0.955）足弓指数均无显著相关性，膝部疼痛与右足（r=0.042，p=0.536）和左足（r=0.045，p=0.515）足弓指数均无显著相关性。下腰痛也呈现出类似的趋势，与右足（r=0.026，p=0.703）和左足（r=0.097，p=0.157）足弓指数均无显著相关性。
