Summary

This study looks at how the shape of your foot arch relates to the way you walk and your thinking skills in older adults. Researchers will measure foot structure, walking speed and steps, and reaction time in 50 people aged 65 and older. The goal is to better understand these connections, which could help improve mobility and safety in later life.
