Study Overview
Brief Summary
Flatfoot is one of the common deformity of foot. Flat foot can alter the biomechanics of lower limb and can cause deviation in tibial rotation, varus of knee, altration in patellar position,tracking related deviations. current study is aimed to find the association between flatfoot and patellar mal-alignment. 124 healthy individuals will be screened for flatfoot and presence of different patellar mal-alignment including lateral shift, lateral tilt, lateral rotation and posterior tilt of patella using McConial assesment method.Chi square test will be used to find the association between patellar position and flatfoot.
