Background Foot posture is a risk factor for some lower limb injuries, however the underlying
mechanism is not well understood. Plantar pressure analysis is one technique to investigate …

Background All typically developing children are born with flexible flat feet, progressively
developing a medial longitudinal arch during the first decade of their lives. Whilst the child's …

Background Variations in foot posture, such as pes planus (low medial longitudinal arch) or
pes cavus (high medial longitudinal arch) are associated with some lower limb injuries …

Variations in foot posture are associated with the development of some lower limb injuries.
However, the mechanisms underlying this relationship are unclear. The objective of this …

Background Many multi-segment foot models based on skin-markers have been proposed
for in-vivo kinematic analysis of foot joints. It remains unclear whether these models have …

Background Dynamic foot function is considered a risk factor for lower limb overuse injuries
including Achilles tendinopathy, shin pain, patellofemoral pain and stress fractures …

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been used in physical therapy diagnosis and management for
various impairments. Physical therapists (PTs) need to be able to utilize the latest innovative …

Background Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common form of scoliosis.
However, the underlying mechanisms linking spinal curvature in AIS to foot characteristics …

Background: Flatfoot deformity is thought to affect gait kinematics, but the effect of flatfoot on
segmental motion of the foot during gait remains unclear. Recently, multi-segmental foot …

Background: There is still an ongoing debate about the role of the craniomandibular system,
including occlusal conditions, on postural stability. This study aims to assess the role of …
