“…Despite a wealth of studies on the MLA's biomechanical and anatomical characteristics under weight-bearing conditions, a comprehensive understanding of its dynamics, particularly in relation to gender-specific variations, remains elusive. Recent findings highlight musculoskeletal asymmetries in healthy adults and the MLA's critical role in force dispersion, shock absorption, and balance during locomotion (8,9,10). Techniques such as dynamic imaging, pressure mapping, and kinematic analysis have enhanced our knowledge of the arch's behavior under various loading conditions, contributing to injury prevention and management strategies.…”

Background: The medial longitudinal arch (MLA) of the foot plays a pivotal role in biomechanical stability and mobility. Understanding its behavior under different loading conditions is crucial for both clinical and sports-related applications. Previous studies have offered insights into the arch's adaptability, yet the impact of gender on this dynamic has remained underexplored. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the differences in medial longitudinal arch height between genders in non-weight bearing (NWB) and full weight bearing (FWB) positions, to ascertain if gender influences arch behavior under various loading conditions. Methods: Conducted at the Biomechanics and Kinesiology Laboratory of Shifa Tameer e Millat University, this cross-sectional study enrolled volunteers aged 18 to 40 years with normal foot arches. Exclusion criteria included history of foot pain, foot anomalies, pregnancy, or menstruation at the time of data collection. Navicular height was measured using Kinovea software (Version 0.9.5), with participants in both NWB and FWB positions. The study received approval from the Institutional Review Board and Ethics Committee of Shifa International Hospital (IRB # 0213-23). Statistical analysis was performed using independent and paired sample t-tests. Results: The study involved equal numbers of male and female participants, with no significant gender-based differences observed in navicular height in NWB (Males: Left Foot 5.17 ± 0.865, Right Foot 5.19 ± 0.675; Females: Left Foot 5.24 ± 0.89, Right Foot 5.39 ± 0.867) and FWB positions (Males: Left Foot 4.73 ± 0.834, Right Foot 4.88 ± 0.846; Females: Left Foot 4.83 ± 0.898, Right Foot 4.80 ± 0.837). Significant reductions in navicular height from NWB to FWB were noted across both genders (p < 0.01). Conclusion: The medial longitudinal arch height significantly changes under weight bearing, displaying a similar pattern of adaptability across genders. This indicates that gender does not significantly influence the biomechanical behavior of the MLA under the tested conditions.

Introduction: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare disease with skin fragility that develops blisters with a minimum trauma. Feet blisters are a challenge to develop walking milestone. Shoes are the primary interface between the body and the ground, protecting feet and affecting how ground reaction forces are applied to the foot and transferred to the entire body. The effect of shoes on children’s gait is poorly understood, especially in children with EB. The selection of appropriate footwear may help reduce blisters and improve foot function in EB. Case Report: This case report investigated the use of Biomimetic Shoe over EB’s child gait. We tested a commercially available shoe for toddlers that used sand as a model to develop its midsole. As a nature-inspired design, this shoe claims to respect the morphology of the toddler’s feet and provide better conditions for foot development. Conclusion: Offering walking experiences similar to barefoot conditions improved the child walking pattern, empowering the child to stay mobile and allowing the foot to function as it would naturally.
