Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The foot is a terminal joint that opposes external resistance in the lower kinetic chain. It plays a primary role in weight transfer and ground response between the body and the ground. It plays a role in maintaining an upright posture, lowering the gravitational line against a narrow support surface during walking, providing stability and absorbing the shocks that occur during daily life activities.

Foot problems are common worldwide. These problems affect people negatively by giving symptoms during activities of daily living.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

There is not much data on whether these changes are related to age or not. Deformities, kinetic chain disorders, and other problems that affect balance are likely to increase with age. For this reason, in our study, the relationship between foot posture and functional-balance was examined on the basis of age groups.

Body balance may be impaired by deficiencies in the strength and mechanical stability of any joint or structure along the lower extremity kinetic chain, or by decreased afferent feedback. It is necessary to know the foot posture and biomechanics about the causes of injury and susceptibility to injury during activities of daily living and sports.
