Sex Differences in Foot Arch Structure Affect Postural Control and Energy Flow During Dynamic Tasks
Significant sex differences in foot arch function influence postural control and energy transfer during STS. Compared to males, females rely on more frequent postural adjustments to compensate for lower arch stiffness, which may increase mechanical loading on the knee and ankle and elevate injury risk.
