This study suggests that decreased IFS affects the mobility function of high-arched feet in older women. Although there was no significant difference in the evaluation of pain, HAG showed the highest average value, which is considered to contribute to the decreased two-step value. It has been suggested that a high-arched foot in the presence of pain is associated with IFS weakness and may affect the decline of mobility function in older women.
