Background The medial longitudinal arch of the foot is a variable structure, and a decrease
in its height could affect several functions and increase the risk of injuries in the lower limbs …

Objective The aim was to determine the interrater and intrarater reliability of navicular drop
(NDP), navicular drift (NDT), and the Foot Posture Index-6 (FPI-6), and test–retest reliability …

Background: The current literature is not clear regarding the best method of determining
medial longitudinal arch (MLA) height. Differences in MLA height can significantly alter lower …

Abstract Background and Purpose. Abnormality in the structure of the medial longitudinal
arch of the foot is commonly thought to be a predisposing factor to injury. The purpose of this …

Background The navicular drop test is a measure to evaluate the function of the medial
longitudinal arch, which is important for examination of patients with overuse injuries …

Background: The medial longitudinal arch of the foot is important because it helps protect
the foot from injury. Researchers have developed many measures to quantify the …

Background A study was conducted to determine the reliability and validity of a new foot
mobility assessment method that utilizes digital images to measure the change in dorsal …

Background The risk of developing injuries during standing work may vary between persons
with different foot types. High arched and low arched feet, as well as rigid and flexible feet …

Purpose The height of navicular bone from the floor is in proportion with the height of
longitudinal arch of the foot. The study was conducted to evaluate correlation of navicular …
