Alignment of the lower limb is an important factor, influencing balance and gait in kinematics and kinetics, in patients with and without a flat arched foot. Flat arched foot are associated with the range of motion (ROM) of the hip and alignments of the knee joints, is strongly influenced. The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between hip joint ROM and quadriceps angle (Q-angle), by dividing them into two groups according to the presence or absence of flat feet, using a navicular drop test (NDT) and resting calcaneal stance position (RCSP). Forty elderly patients were allocated to the experimental group (flat foot group, mean age 74.76±4.69 years, n1=20) or the control group (non-flat group, mean age 72.64±5.25 years, n2=20).
Universal and digital goniometer, tractograph and tape measure were used to determine the related changes in the hip ROM, Q-angle, NDT and RCSP. Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficients. Active internal ROM of the hip joint (right, r=.803, p=.000), (left, r=.951, p=.000) were highly correlated with NDT, and also, was moderately correlated with Q-angle (right, r=.562, p=.019), (left, r=.757, p=.000). Passive internal ROM of the hip joint (right, r=.742, p=.001), (left, r=.922, p=.000) were highly correlated with NDT, and also, was moderately correlated with RCSP (right, r=-.530, p=.029) and with Q-angle (right, r=.710, p=.001), (left, r=.698, p=.002) in the flat foot group. However, no strong correlation among the hip ROM, NDT, RCSP and Q-angle were found in the non-flat foot group.
This research may provide evidence of the correlations between hip internal ROM and flat foot.
