Resumo
[Abstract] Background: Adult acquired flatfoot is characterized by a medial arch collapse
during monopodal support in the stance phase, developing eversion of the
calcaneus and abduction of the forefoot linked to the hindfoot. The purpose
of our research was to analyze the dynamic symmetry index in the lower limbs
comparing patients with flatfoot and normal foot.
Methods: A case-control study was carried out with a sample of 62 participants
divided into two groups consisting of 31 participants were overweight with
bilateral flatfoot and 31 participants with healthy feet. A portable plantar
pressure platform with piezoresistive sensors was used to measure the load
symmetry index in the lower limbs in the foot areas and gait phases.
Results: Gait pattern analysis showed statistically significant differences in the
symmetry index for lateral load (p = 0.004), the initial contact phase (p = 0.025)
and the forefoot phase (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The adults were overweight with bilateral flatfoot evidenced
alterations in the symmetry index in the lateral load and in the initial contact
and flatfoot contact phases, showing greater instability in overweight adult flatfoot
compared to the people with normal feet.
