The relationship between quality of life and foot function in children with flexible flatfeet

Highlights • We undertook gait analysis of children with flat and neutral foot postures. • Kinematic angles were correlated with quality of life. • Children with symptomatic flatfeet walked slower with reduced stride length. • Children with flatfeet had increased hindfoot eversion and forefoot supin...

Description
Summary:Highlights • We undertook gait analysis of children with flat and neutral foot postures. • Kinematic angles were correlated with quality of life. • Children with symptomatic flatfeet walked slower with reduced stride length. • Children with flatfeet had increased hindfoot eversion and forefoot supination. • Forefoot supination correlated the strongest with quality of life measures.
