      Background: Foot disorders are common in older adults and associated with impaired lower extremity function. Reduced muscle mass may play a role in the etiology of foot disorders and consequent poor function. Methods: We ...

    • Factors affecting center of pressure in older adults: the Framingham Foot Study 

      Hagedorn, Thomas J; Dufour, Alyssa B; Golightly, Yvonne M; Riskowski, Jody L; Hillstrom, Howard J; Casey, Virginia A; Hannan, Marian T. (BioMed Central, 2013)
      Background: Although aberrant foot movement during gait has been associated with adverse outcomes in the lower extremities in clinical patients, few studies have analyzed population differences in foot function. The purpose ...

    • Foot Disorders, Foot Posture, and Foot Function: The Framingham Foot Study 

      Hagedorn, Thomas J.; Dufour, Alyssa B.; Riskowski, Jody L.; Hillstrom, Howard J.; Menz, Hylton B.; Casey, Virginia A.; Hannan, Marian T. (Public Library of Science, 2013)
