Foot type biomechanics part 1: Structure and function of the asymptomatic foot

Highlights ► We investigated the structure and function of different foot types. ► 61 healthy individuals with 44 planus, 54 rectus, and 24 cavus feet were recruited. ► Measures of foot structure and function were different across foot types. ► Gait pattern parameters were invariant across foot type...

Summary:Highlights ► We investigated the structure and function of different foot types. ► 61 healthy individuals with 44 planus, 54 rectus, and 24 cavus feet were recruited. ► Measures of foot structure and function were different across foot types. ► Gait pattern parameters were invariant across foot types. ► Foot type should be used as a covariate in studies of lower extremity function.
