Abstract

Fore foot varum is unsound from the biomechanic point of view, a lot of musculoskeletal discorders may be found, such as hallucis valgus with bunion, achillus tendinitis, chronic arch strain, shin splint, patellofemoral derangement and low back syndrome. ”Fore foot varum is unsound from the biomechanic point of view, a lot of musculoskeletal discorders may be found, such as hallucis valgus with bunion, achillus tendinitis, chronic arch strain, shin splint, patellofemoral derangement and low back syndrome. We tried to catch the negative cast of the foot in neutral position with P-Pcast and took the functional orthotic (Rohadura) from Langer Orthotic Labortory LTD.The AMTI's Computerized Biomechanic Platform System with 4 footswitches were applied to detect the ground reaction force, % stance phase etc. Three ladies (age 25,30,23) with 6 feet were taken to this study. The assement was compared with or with out wearing orthotics. Delay T7 (p=0.0431) and increasing Metars 5 Time (p=0.0096) during stance phase were significantly, it means the subtalar joint could be correct by this functional orthotic.
