结局指标
主要结局
Navicular Drop Test
时间窗: 10 minutes
The navicular height and the amount of navicular drop will be made separately for each foot. The navicular prominence is found by palpation and marked with a marker pen when the individual is in a sitting position with the hips and knees flexed to 90 degrees and the subtalar joint in neutral position (the subtalar joint is palpated and the talus is in a neutral position). The height of the navicular protrusion from the ground is measured with a rigid ruler. Then, while the person stands on both feet equally, the height of the navicular protrusion from the ground is also measured with a ruler. The difference between the two measurements is noted as the amount of "navicular drop" (NDT).
