简要总结
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) impairs mobility and is worsened by flatfoot, causing postural imbalances. Research shows foot posture affects lower limb mechanics. Short foot exercises, designed to strengthen foot muscles and improve arch support, may help improve balance and function. This study examines their effects on foot posture, balance, and function in knee OA patients with flatfoot.
