Abstract

This study aims to compare gait parameters between the normal arch condition and the flat arch condition in students at SD Negeri Daleman 01, Nguter District, Sukoharjo. A flat foot, which is a common disorder characterized by the loss of arches in the feet, can interfere with walking pattern, cadence, timing, and speed. This study used a comparative approach with a cross-sectional observational analytic research design. The research sample consisted of students aged 7-12 years, with either a normal arch or flat arch condition. Gait parameters were measured using an instrument for assessing gait parameters. Data analysis involved tests for normality and hypothesis testing using the Mann-Whitney test. The results of the study showed a significant difference (p-value < 0.05) in gait parameters between the normal arch condition and the flat arch condition. Students with a normal arch condition demonstrated better gait parameters compared to those with a flat arch condition. Students with a flat arch condition tended to have shorter step lengths, wider step widths, longer ground contact time, and slower walking speeds compared to students with a normal arch condition. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that a flat arch condition potentially affects gait parameters in students at SD Negeri Daleman 01, with a p-value < 0.05. This information can be useful for relevant parties in monitoring and addressing gait parameter issues in students with a flat arch condition.
