“…Other studies showed greater hallux pressure in individuals with hallux valgus than in controls [25,27]. A trend of higher forces under the medial forefoot could be due to the decreased height of the medial longitudinal arch owing to aging, as our participants were elderly women and it is known that the medial arch decreases in height with age [15,44]. This fact was previously reported by Hagedorn et al [15] who investigated elderly aged 66.2±10.5 years old.…”

“…This fact was previously reported by Hagedorn et al [15] who investigated elderly aged 66.2±10.5 years old. A lower medial arch pronates the foot [44] and we think it is the cause of higher load on the medial forefoot. This could be the reason we found no changes between NORM and HVG groups in this study, as both groups' participants are relatively elderly women.…”

Detailed analysis of the transverse arch of hallux valgus feet with and without pain using weightbearing ultrasound imaging and precise force sensors

Background Hallux valgus is the most common forefoot deformity and affects the transverse arch structure and its force loading patterns. This study aims to clarify the differences in the transverse arch structure and the force under the metatarsal heads individually, between normal feet and hallux valgus feet, and between hallux valgus feet with pain and without pain. We further test the association between the parameters of the transverse arch and hallux valgus angle and between the parameters and pain in hallux valgus. Methods Women's feet (105 feet) were divided into normal group (NORM) and hallux valgus group (HVG); and further into subgroups: hallux valgus without pain (HV Pain (-)) and hallux valgus with pain (HV Pain (+)). Transverse arch height and metatarsal heads height were measured using weight-bearing ultrasound imaging. Force under the metatarsal heads was measured using force sensors attached directly on the skin surface of the metatarsal heads. The measurements were taken in three loading positions: sitting, quiet standing and 90% weight shift on the tested foot. Differences between the groups were compared using Student t-test and Wilcoxon Exact test. Multivariate logistic analysis with adjustment for physical characteristics was also conducted. Results Transverse arch height was significantly higher in HVG than in NORM in all positions; there were no significant differences between HV Pain (+) and HV pain (-). Lateral sesamoid was

“…Although most studies [3], [10], [14] state that with age, the plantar arch sags, elderly people presenting with flat feet, in our research, after static analysis, the subjects presented pes cavus. In the elderly group, only 15% have a normal foot, while 85% have a pes cavus.…”

The purpose of this study was to identify foot typology in senior individuals using barapodometry as an evaluation tool. 20 individuals, with a mean age of 74,35 years (15 female and 5 male), were enrolled in the study. Methodology: By utilizing the P-Walk method to assess the 12 variables in both static and dynamic ways, we discovered that there are no statistically significant differences between the two groups. Just 15% of the elderly without neurological problems have a normal foot, while the remaining 85% have a pes cavus. 25% of participants in the Parkinson's disease group have normal feet, 5% have flat feet, and 70% have pes cavus.

This study aims to identify the type of foot arch among male office workers in Selangor. A total of 100 participants aged 20 to 50 years participated. The arches were determined using the Harris-imprint index parameter. Analysis showed that normal arch 71% (n=71) 0.23 (±0.09), high arch (28%) 0.18 (±0.10), and flat arch (1%). Additionally, 55% (p<0.001; or 4.850) experienced discomfort with the shoe insoles, while 36% (n=36) had the same pair for the left and right foot, and 64% (n=64) had different pairs of foot arches. Findings revealed a different foot arch between their left and right feet.
