Description
The sole of the foot is an important part of the body which serves to support the entire body mass; therefore, it has an important impact on the whole body in terms of structure and function. The aim of the work was to evaluate the foot alignment of members of the Kosovo Security Force. The sample includes 310 members of the Kosovo Security Force, 140 of them from the 2009 generation and 170 from the 2013 generation. Pedograph was used to assess the foot, while the mobility of the foot joint was done with a goniometer. The obtained results show that in the 2009 generation, 20.9% have flat feet, 61.2% have normal feet and 27.6% have a curved foot, while in the 2013 generation, 24.3% of its members have flat feet, 54.4% with a normal foot and 21.3% with a curved foot. From the obtained results, it has been proven that the members of the two generations of the Kosovo Security Force, do not distinguish much between themselves in terms of foot alignment. Meanwhile, regarding the mobility of the foot, only a difference was found in the dorsal flexion of the foot, in favor of the members of the 2013 generation.
