Investigation of Medial Longitudinal Arch and Foot Function in Patients With Lipedema
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Lipedema, Hypermobility Syndrome (Disorder), Pes Planus, Joint Hypermobility
In brief
Lipedema is a chronic adipose tissue disorder that commonly leads to joint laxity, hypermobility, and functional limitations, yet its impact on foot morphology has not been systematically examined. This case-control study aims to investigate whether patients with lipedema exhibit a higher prevalence of generalized joint hypermobility and foot structural abnormalities-specifically pes planus-compared with age- and BMI-matched controls. Using radiographic measurements (Meary angle and calcaneal inclination angle), clinical hypermobility assessment, and validated functional scales, the study seeks to determine the relationship between lipedema, hypermobility, and foot function.
