Comparison of foot kinematics and
the morphology of intrinsic musculature of
the foot using a foot-type classification based
on function
Senator Kudo, et al
J. Phys. Ther. Sci. 32: 238–242, 2020

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate a correlation between the morphology of the
intrinsic musculature of the foot and foot kinematics during gait using a foot type classification based on the windlass function. [Participants and Methods] We examined 67 feet of 35 healthy participants in this study. We collected
three-dimensional foot kinematic data during gait from the Oxford Foot Model and assessed the morphology of the
flexor digitorum brevis, abductor hallucis, adductor halluces (oblique head), and abductor digiti minimi muscles
using B-mode ultrasound. Using the Foot Posture Index (six-item version), we divided static foot postures into two
groups: normal arch and flatfoot. Subsequently, we compared foot kinematics and the morphology of the intrinsic
musculature among the four groups using the analysis of variance with the Bonferroni test. [Results] Foot kinematics of the flatfoot-adduction type during gait significantly differed from that of the normal arch-abduction type.
The abductor digiti minimi of the flatfoot-adduction type was significantly thinner than that of the normal archabduction type. [Conclusion] There may be some variations in flatfoot, and the flatfoot-abduction type might not be
a risk factor for overuse injuries

hmmmm…. worth thinking about
