Multifactorial gait analysis of children with flat foot and hind foot valgus deformity

摘要

The valgus flexible flat foot deformation could be due to skeletal deformities in the forefoot, as we find a supination, but with no changes in the associated muscular activity. Those deviations would create a strain overload in the talo-navicular joint area that would instigate the collapse of the mid-foot. This hypothesis could be tested using a biomechanical model of the child flat foot.
