Foot Pressure Studies in the Assessment of Forefoot Arthroplasty in the Rheumatoid Foot

Foot & Ankle, 1988
To assess the results of forefoot arthroplasty, dynamic and static foot pressure studies have been made of the rheumatoid foot in both a prospective study group of 60 feet and in a retrospective study group of 18 feet. Significant reductions of pressure in the forefoot were found. Problems associated with the first and fifth metatarsals were considered.

Role of Neuropathy and High Foot Pressures in Diabetic Foot Ulceration

Diabetes Care, 1998
OBJECTIVE High plantar foot pressures in association with peripheral neuropathy have been ascertained to be important risk factors for ulceration in the diabetic foot. Most studies investigating these parameters have been limited by their size and the homogeneity of study subjects.

The adaptation of the foot to heavy loads: Plantar foot pressures study

Clinical Biomechanics, 1997
INTRODUCTION:: The foot serves as the main shock absorber during various activities as walking running and jumping. There are static and dynamic mechanisms which play a role in the adaptation of the foot to weight bearing walking with weights. The function of the foot while weight bearing was studied mainly under static conditions.

Foot Bearing Pressure in Patients with Unilateral Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Diabetic Medicine, 1989
Foot ulceration due to neuropathy is a serious cause of morbidity in diabetes. Ulceration usually occurs at the part of the foot subjected to excessive mechanical pressure. A more generalized increase in pressure under the feet has also been shown to be a feature of many patients with diabetic neuropathy.

A shapeable foot-pressure measuring device

Journal of Biomedical Engineering, 1989
Measurement of foot pressure distribution for clinical purposes should ideally be made inside the shoe with a shaped insole and raised heel. Pressure measuring platforms cannot do this and transducers inserted inside the shoe can be obtrusive and inaccurate.

Foot pressure distribution in patients with gonarthrosis

The Foot, 2012
When standing, leg alignment is controlled by supinating or pronating the subtalar joint, corresponding to valgus or varus deformity of the knee joint. However, in the gait cycle, it is not clear whether the abnormal alignment can be compensated.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the control of leg alignment in the latter half of the gait cycle ...

A Wearable Foot Pressure Sensor

2021 IEEE International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Communication (ICAIRC), 2021
A foot pressure sensor with an impedance adaptive RFID chip is proposed in this paper. It is used as a shoe pad and is easy to wear. The newly designed sensor consists of three components: RFID chip and antenna, supporting layer, and reflective surface. The distance between the RFID antenna and the reflective surface corresponds to the impedance sensor

Determinants of plantar pressures in the diabetic foot

Journal of Diabetes and its Complications, 2002
The aim of this study was to determine, by the use of regression analysis, the factors that are associated with the increased plantar pressure in the diabetic foot. In-shoe plantar pressure measurements using the Novel Pedar were carried out on 50 subjects with diabetes.

Foot pressure differences in men and women

Foot and Ankle Surgery, 2010
Women and men are anatomically and physiologically different in a number of ways. Anthropometric studies have shown considerable differences in the foot bones of both genders. These differences could potentially mean different foot pressures in men and women.The aim of our study was to investigate any potential foot pressure differences between males ...

The effect of foot type on the foot morphology and foot pressure of obese children

Footwear Science, 2017
Previous study showed that obese children displayed flatter feet compared to their normal-weighted counterparts (Riddiford-Harland, Steele, & Storlien, 2000).
