Povezanost različnih oblik stopalnega loka z ravnotežjem : magistrsko delo

Žnidaršič, Daša (author), Dolenc, Maja (mentor), Spudić, Darjan (comentor)

Stopalo je izjemno pomemben del človeškega telesa. Kljub temu pa je v procesu vadbe pogosto spregledan element. Namen te magistrske naloge je bil ugotoviti ali med ravnotežjem in obliko stopalnega loka obstaja povezanost. Prav tako smo želeli preveriti zanesljivost meritev oblike stopalnega loka na pedobarometrični plošči. S pomočjo ugotovitev smo želeli potrditi ali zavreči ter dopolniti dosedanje raziskave in tako podati usmeritve za delo v klinični praksi. V raziskavo je bilo vključenih 44 preiskovancev, med katerimi je bilo 21 moških (47,7 %) in 23 žensk (52,3 %). Izvedli smo meritev enonožne stoje ter test stabilnosti ob pristanku na tenziometrični plošči. Izvedli smo tudi meritve oblike stopalnega loka in na podlagi rezultatov izračunali stopalni indeks, ki smo ga kasneje uporabili v statistični analizi. Ugotovili smo, da med različnimi oblikami stopalnega loka in ravnotežjem obstaja povezanost. Prav tako smo ugotovili, da višji kot je stopalni indeks (slednjega imajo posamezniki z nizkim stopalnim lokom) nižja je frekvenca premikanja oprijemališča sile reakcije na podlago. Osebe z nižjim stopalnim lokom (višjim stopalnim indeksom) delajo manj popravkov med enonožno stojo. Prav tako smo ugotovili, da je meritev oblike stopalnega loka na pedobarometrični pritiskovni blazini zanesljiva (po ICC kriteriju), vendar pa je absolutna razlika med tremi ponovitvami velika (CV > 45 %). Prav zato so na tem področju še potrebne nadaljnje raziskave.

• Title: correlation between different types of foot arch and balance

Abstract

The foot is one of the most important parts of human body. Despite this, the foot is often overlooked in training or rehabilitation. The aim of this dissertation was to find out if there is any correlation beetwen different types of foot arches and balance. Based on our findings we wanted to confirm or reject and complete recent knowledge. We also wanted to give some practical advice, originating from our results that would help kinesiologists and other physiotherapists with their work. In order to use the data gained from pedobarometric measurements we first had to validate the use of this device for reaserch purposes. Forty-four people were included in this research. Among those 21 were men (47,7 %) and 23 women (52,3 %). They completed the single leg balance test and landing tests on the force plate. Subjects also completed foot type tests. With the help of obtained results, we calculated the arch index (AI). We used all the data in statistics analysis. We were able to conclude that there is correlation between different types of foot arch and balance. Persons with higher arch indexs (lower foot arch) have lower moving frequence of ground reaction force. Furthermore, persons with lower arch execute less corrections during single leg stance. Our findings also suggest that foot meassurments gained from pedobarometric force plate are reliable enough (according to ICC standards) but there are great absolute differences between each meassuremnetto (CV > 45 %). Further research is thus needed in this field.
