Normative Values of Navicular Drop Test In Older People
Keywords:
Navicular Drop Test, Medial Longitudinal Arch, Elderly, BMI.Abstract
Normal values of Navicular drop test (NDT) have not yet been established in older Indian population. Therefore the aim of the study is to find the normative values of Navicular drop test in older people. 100 elderly (50 Males & 50 Females) in the age group of 60-85 years were incorporated in the study. Navicular drop test was performed and demographic data was collected. The normative values of NDT are 0.77 cm and 0.97 cm for males and 0.86 cm for females on right and left foot respectively.
