Overview
The purpose of the study is to investigate the influence of selected indexes and angle parameters of the foot on kinematic changes of the ankle, knee, hip and pelvis during the gait cycle. The research group consisted of 27 male with an average age of 24.1. Selected indexes and foot angular parameters were obtained by processing four imprints of the bare foot in each of the subject. The Vicon MX system was used for kinematic analysis of the gait. We have noted the influence of foot indexes on kinematic parameters in all joints of the lower extremity. Statistically significant differences were found in maximum flexion and extension of the hip in the sagittal plane during the gait cycle. We found that the foot angle and heel angle do not affect the kinematic parameters of the lower extremity and pelvis. Big toe angle affects the peak of ankle plantar flexion during loading response.
