Plantar profile of obese individuals and its association with pain in the feet
Abstract
Introduction: Obesity is associated with health complications, overloads on the lower limb segments, whic can alter the configuration of the plantar arch and cause problems such as pai in the foot. Objective: To analyze the relationship betweem the plantar arch and the occurrence of foot pain in obese womem. Material and methods: This is a cross-sectional study of 132 obese adult women, aged between 20 and 60 years. They were evaluated for BMI, intensity of foot pain, plantigraphy and Foot Function Index - Brazil (FFI). Results: The presence of flat arches was related to the high body mass index, as well as the pain referring to the questionnaire Foot Function Index (FFI). Was found a prevalence of 41.9% cavus foot, 39.3% typical and 18.9% flat. When the foot was related to anthropometric measurements, the flat plantar arch was more prevalent among those with higher anthropometric measurements. Conclusion: In this study with obese women, it was found that the largest anthropometric measurements are related to the presence of a flat plantar arch and the presence of pain in this region, including pain related to the daily situations of obese women. The movement professionals' view of these patients is extremely important for the education, prevention and treatment of the obese population, in order to avoid overweight.
