Mechanical characteristics of the foot, lower extremity muscle sizes, and walking performance of children and adults

This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary
Deformability of the foot and thicknesses of lower extremity muscles were measured and kinetic/kinematic analyses of normal shod walking were done on children and adults. Children showed higher relative navicular drop and smaller peroneus longus muscle thickness, and characteristic features in the ground reaction forces in anteroposterior and mediolateral directions.
