Excerpt

Flat foot as one of the lower extremity deformities might change some kinetic variables of gait. Fatigue can deteriorate the muscle ability in supporting joints and can alter the vertical ground reaction force (GRF) [1, 2]. This study examined the fatigue effect on vertical GRF in individuals with flat feet compared with a normal group during barefoot walking. …
