Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Physiotherapy
  • Podiatry

Background:

  • Pathomechanical conditions can significantly impact lower limb function.
  • Understanding the relationships between various biomechanical variables is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
  • Physiotherapy students provide a relevant population for studying these factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify factors associated with pathomechanical conditions.
  • To determine the clustering tendency of biomechanical variables using hierarchical cluster analysis.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 108 physiotherapy students (mean age 21.36 ± 1.35 years).
  • Measured variables included quadriceps (Q) angle, subtalar angle, valgus angle, medial longitudinal arch (MLA) angle, and hallux valgus angle.
  • Utilized hierarchical cluster analysis to group variables and assess their convergence.

Main Results:

  • Two primary clusters of variables emerged.
  • Cluster 1: Metatarsal width, age, hallux valgus angle, and subtalar pronation angles.
  • Cluster 2: MLA, knee valgus and Q angles, weight, BMI, navicular drop, gender, and height.

Conclusions:

  • The study identified significant relationships between specific biomechanical variables.
  • These clusters suggest potential associations between foot posture, lower limb alignment, and anthropometric factors in pathomechanical conditions.
  • Further research can explore the clinical implications of these findings in physiotherapy practice.
