Investigation of the relationship between foot length, foot pain and function

Öz

Background: This study explores the relationship between foot morphology, foot pain, and functional limitations, focusing on how foot length and gender differences affect these factors. Foot pain is a prevalent issue affecting daily life and is influenced by factors such as foot structure, footwear choices, and gender. Materials and Methods: . The study involved 218 university students, divided evenly by gender, who completed the Foot Function Index questionnaire, assessing pain, disability, and activity limitations. Results: Data analyses revealed significant gender differences, with women experiencing more pain and functional limitations than men, possibly due to biomechanical and footwear differences. Chronic disease was also associated with higher levels of pain and limitations, aligning with the literature on chronic health issues' impacts on mobility and quality of life. Other factors, including psychological disorders, smoking, and terrain of upbringing, showed minimal impact on foot health, though footwear choice was notable—those wearing sneakers reported lower pain levels. Conclusions: The study suggests that foot morphology and gender influence foot pain and function, emphasizing the importance of personalized interventions in footwear design and preventive care to improve foot health outcomes.
