Plantar Pressure Distribution among Older Persons with Different Types of Foot and Its Correlation with Functional Reach Distance.

Changes in biomechanical structures of human foot are common in the older person, which may lead to alteration of foot type and plantar pressure distribution. We aimed to examine how foot type affects the plantar pressure distribution and to determine the relationship between plantar pressure distribution and functional reach distance in older persons. Fifty community-dwelling older persons (age: 69.

Mobility and Balance and Their Correlation with Physiological Factors in Elderly with Different Foot Postures.

This study determines (1) the correlation between mobility and balance performances with physiological factors and (2) the relationship between foot postures with anthropometric characteristics and lower limb characteristics among elderly with neutral, pronated, and supinated foot. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in community-dwelling elderly (age: 69.86 ± 5.
