| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to verify the patellofemoral joint stress and the coordination pattern related to patellofemoral pain in normal foot and flat foot. First, we focus on the coordination pattern between the rearfoot and shank in the normal foot, and it was revealed that anti-phase presents between the rearfoot and shank. Next, we examined the gender difference of foot segment kinematics during running, and clarified that there is gender difference in the rearfoot kinematics. This finding suggested that it is necessary to match the number of men and women with normal foot and flat foot. Currently, we recruit normal foot and flat foot based on this finding and are comparing coordination pattern and patellofemoral joint stress.
