About
The Weight-bearing Foot Anatomical Type is a standard and typical observation of the foot to measure the arch of the foot. As a quick and easy measurement, the Weight-bearing Foot Anatomical Type is used to assess any flat footedness or excessive height or curvature in the foot. Taking this test into account with the prior three tests, as well as the whole of BIQ 10, can reveal the degree of stability or instability in the arch and its possible causation to a trained clinician.
Effect of Deviation
Altered alignment under load may indicate instability or abnormal force distribution, leading to compensatory mechanics throughout the lower extremity.
