Abstract:
Objective: To compare foot defects, deformities and diseases in middle, long distance shod and barefoot Runners.
Method: 51 barefoot runners, 61 shod runners and 65 healthy controls were screened for foot defects, deformities and diseases in this study using validated clinical tools.
Results: Foot defects vary significantly among the three groups compared as p value was 0.001 showed high significance. When foot deformities are concerned, they vary significantly among the three groups compared as the p value was 0.001. Whereas foot diseases vary significantly among the three groups compared as p value was 0.001.
Conclusion: The analysis of this study revealed that the prevalence foot defects, deformities and diseases have been found to be highly significant among three groups.
Keywords: Truncated navicular height, Hallux valgus, Foot infection, Corns, Ingrown toe nail
