Examination of Postural Control of Body and the Onset Time of Electrical Activity of Selected Ankle Muscles During Single-leg Landing in Subjects With Pronated and Normal Foot
,
Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to explore foot pronation deformity on the postural control of the body and the onset time of the electrical activity of ankle muscles during landing.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 27 people with a pronated foot deformity and 27 normal people participated. The force plate was used to measure the postural control of the body. Surface electromyography signals were recorded in landing tests with electromyography, which synchronized with a force plate. To compare the performance of the two groups, we used multivariate analysis of variance.
Results: The results indicated a statistically significant difference in the medial-lateral direction of differences between center of pressure and center of mass (COP-COM) between foot pronation (pronated) and normal group during landing (P<0.05). Regarding the variable of the onset time of the muscular electrical activity during landing, there was a statistically significant difference in medial gastrocnemius, soleus, tibialis anterior, and peroneus longus muscles between the two groups (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Foot pronation can be regarded as a factor affecting the biomechanics of landing by changing postural control of the body in the medial-lateral direction and the onset time of the electrical activity of medial gastrocnemius, soleus, tibialis anterior, and peroneus longus muscles during landing movement.
