This study investigates the relationship between foot misalignments induced by wedges and lumbar spinal alignment, with a specific focus on the frontal plane, aiming to shed light on potential factors contributing to low back pain, a leading cause of disability. Screening 68 volunteers, the research selected 35 subjects using random sampling and performed measurements involving the navicular drop test, calcaneal eversion and inversion, Passive Accessory Intervertebral Motion (PAIVM) assessment, and limb length examination. Results showed significant changes in Navicular height across all testing positions, while spinal deviation remained insignificantly altered. Although no direct correlation between Navicular height and Spinal Deviation was observed, the study highlights the potential for foot pathologies to induce postural adaptations and lumbar instability, emphasizing the need for further exploration of this intricate biomechanical relationship in the context of low back pain prevention and treatment.
