The rise of the longitudinal arch when sitting, standing, and walking: Contributions of the windlass mechanism
Fig 3
Graphical summary of the results.
The results suggest that static windlass effects (sitting and standing) poorly predict the relationship between arch dynamics and metatarsophalangeal joint motion during dynamic load scenarios (walking). (A-C) show the mean changes in navicular height (mm) in relation to toe dorsiflexion (°). (D-F) display the changes in navicular height relative to the toe dorsiflexion (mm/°). Black dots represent the mean value. (G-I) show the linear regression between changes in navicular height (mm) and maximum toe dorsiflexion (°). Each circle represents one participant. The regression line is colored in black. Grey shaded area represents the corresponding confidence interval.
