Background: The biomechanical abnormalities in patients with posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) have been described, but few studies have investigated biomechanical chains of adjacent joints. Therefore, we examined the gait pattern of the lower extremity in subjects with PTTD, focusing on the hip and knee joints.
Methods: We compared 19 PTTD patients (average age: 67.
