Challenging the foundations of the clinical model of foot function : further evidence that the Root model assessments fail to appropriately classify foot function (2017)
Journal Article
Jarvis, H., Nester, C., Bowden, P., & Jones, R. (2017). Challenging the foundations of the clinical model of foot function : further evidence that the Root model assessments fail to appropriately classify foot function. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 10(7), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13047-017-0189-2

Background The Root model of normal and abnormal foot function remains the basis for clinical foot orthotic practice globally. Our aim was to investigate the relationship between foot deformities and kinematic compensations that are the foundations...
