Abstract:
BACKGROUND The human foot has a complex structure and the ligamentous and muscular apparatus undergoes transformation and adaptation during its ontogenetic development. Excessive body mass may be one of the factors disrupting proper foot formation. This study aimed to assess the foot structure in preschool children in relation to body mass. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 105 children aged 6.27±0.60 years were examined. Height, weight, and segmental body composition were determined using the Tanita MC-780 body composition analyzer. The foot structure was assessed using the Kasperczyk method, supplemented with digital analysis using the Podoscan 2D camera. The Weisflog index and gamma angle for feet were calculated. Children were divided into 2 groups: children in Group I did not have foot deformities and those in Group II had foot deformities. RESULTS No correlation was observed between body mass and the occurrence of anomalies in foot structure. A correlation was noted between the Weisflog index for the right foot and height in both groups. The Weisflog index for both feet was correlated with BMI, with higher values obtained for the left foot in both groups. In Group II, a correlation was observed between the gamma angle value for the left foot and the predicted muscle mass for the right lower limb, as well as between the same foot and the predicted muscle mass for the left lower limb. CONCLUSIONS No correlation was observed between high BMI and the occurrence of anomalies in foot structure. A relationship was identified between muscle mass and foot structure.
摘要:
背景技术人足具有复杂的结构,并且韧带和肌肉装置在其个体发育期间经历转化和适应。过多的体重可能是破坏适当的足部形成的因素之一。这项研究旨在评估学龄前儿童的足部结构与体重的关系。材料与方法共检查了105名6.27±0.60岁的儿童。高度,体重,使用TanitaMC-780身体成分分析仪确定节段性身体成分。使用Kasperczyk方法评估足部结构,使用Podoscan2D相机进行数字分析。计算了脚的Weisflog指数和伽马角。儿童分为两组:第一组儿童没有足部畸形,第二组儿童有足畸形。结果体重与足部结构异常的发生无相关性。两组的右脚Weisflog指数与身高之间均存在相关性。双脚的Weisflog指数与BMI相关,两组中左脚均获得较高的值。在第二组中,在左脚的伽玛角值和右下肢的预测肌肉质量之间观察到相关性,以及相同的脚和预测的左下肢肌肉质量之间。结论高BMI与足部结构异常的发生无相关性。确定了肌肉质量和足部结构之间的关系。
