Purpose: The aim of this study was to translate the English version of the Foot Posture Index (FPI-6) into Turkish and to examine its psychometric properties.
Methods: After the forward-backward translation process, the internal consistency and intra - and inter-rater reliability were evaluated by using Cronbach's α and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) (two-way random effects model with absolute agreement type), respectively. The agreement between reliability assessments was investigated by the standard error of measurement (SEM) and the minimal detectable change (MDC). Criterion validity was assessed in relationship between the Turkish FPI-6 and Foot Function Index (FFI) and the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS).
Results: The study was completed with 45 patients with foot/ankle problems. The internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.85; 0.78, respectively), intra-reliability (ICC = 0.96; 0.94, respectively), and inter-reliability (ICC = 0.93; both of them) of the Turkish version of the FPI-6 were excellent for the dominant and non-dominant lower limb. The SEM was low, and the agreement was considered to have high absolute reliability, as demonstrated by the smallest change in measurement error. The Turkish FPI-6 also had moderate correlations with the FFI and AOFAS ( < .05).
Conclusions: It has been proven that the Turkish FPI-6 is valid and reliable and can be used by Turkish-speaking researchers and clinicians in patients with various foot-ankle problems.

Background: Pes planus (flatfoot) and pes cavus (high arch foot) are common foot deformities, often requiring clinical and radiographic assessment for diagnosis and potential subsequent management. Traditional diagnostic methods, while effective, pose limitations such as cost, radiation exposure, and accessibility, particularly in underserved areas.
Aim: To develop deep learning algorithms that detect and classify such deformities using smartphone cameras.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate a new method for the five times sit to stand test (FTSST), crucial for addressing frailty in an aging population. It utilizes a smart insole for plantar pressure analysis and a marker-less motion capture device for head height analysis.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-five participants aged 50 years or older underwent FTSST assessment using three methods: manual measurement with a stopwatch (FTSST-M), plantar pressure analysis with smart insoles (FTSST-P), and head height analysis with a marker-less motion capture device (FTSST-H).
To evaluate the relative efficacy of various physical therapy interventions for chronic ankle instability (CAI). A network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus, and CINAHL bibliographic databases were searched up to December 2023.

Maintaining balance during human walking hinges on the exquisite orchestration of whole-body angular momentum (WBAM). This study delves into the regulation of WBAM during gait by examining balance strategies in response to upper-body moment perturbations in the frontal plane. A portable Angular Momentum Perturbator (AMP) was utilized in this work, capable of generating perturbation torques on the upper body while minimizing the impact on the center of mass (CoM) excursions.

Given the higher fall risk and the fatal sequelae of falls on stairs, it is worthwhile to investigate the mechanism of dynamic balance control in individuals with knee osteoarthritis during stair negotiation. Whole-body angular momentum ([Formula: see text]) is widely used as a surrogate to reflect dynamic balance and failure to constrain [Formula: see text] may increase the fall risk. This study aimed to compare the range of [Formula: see text] between people with and without knee osteoarthritis during stair ascent and descent.
