A state-of-the-art review of foot pressure

Foot and Ankle Surgery, 2020
The science of foot pressure studies the forces acting on the bottom and different regions of the foot along with the pressure exerted on the plantar surface with the interacting surface in contact. The information derived gave impact to human biomechanical assessment on body balance and ergonomics posture during gait.

Pressures on the Foot in Pointe Shoes

Foot & Ankle, 1985
This study was designed to determine the relative pressures on the first and second toes and first MTP joint when dancing en pointe, in addition to the variation of these pressures as a function of toe length, foot position, and padding. The first ray always bore the most pressure.

Dynamic Pressures on the Diabetic Foot

Foot & Ankle International, 2001
A retrospective study was conducted in order to investigate the relation between increased plantar pressure and ulcers in the diabetic foot and contribute more information on this subject. Maximal plantar pressure (MPP) is reported on various areas of the plantar aspects of the feet in 328 diabetic patients and 75 healthy subjects.

The Measurement of Pressures under the Foot

Foot & Ankle, 1982
An apparatus is described which gives a rapid and detailed picture of the distribution of pressure under the foot, this being displayed either as a continuous grey scale or a color contour map on a television monitor. Automatic analysis systems are outlined which enable the quantitation of the distribution of pressures and loads under the foot during ...

Relationship Between Foot Pressure Pattern and Foot Type

Foot & Ankle International, 1998
Foot type and location of area of peak pressure under the metatarsal heads were determined for 54 healthy adults between the ages of 21 and 39 years. Feet were classified as neutral, pronated, or supinated. Each subject walked barefoot over a pedobarograph, and the area of peak pressure was identified as being either medial, central, or lateral under ...

Foot Pressure Abnormalities in the Diabetic Foot

2002
For decades, foot pressure measurements have been used to evaluate many medical conditions. Early techniques to assess plantar foot pressure were simple, yet innovative, methods that provided investigators with semiquantitative data. The introduction of the optical pedobarograph significantly improved the accuracy of foot pressure measurements ...

PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION IN MORTONʼS FOOT STRUCTURE

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1985
The Morton foot structure (MFS) is a foot having, as its most prominent distinguishing feature, a second metatarsal head which is more distally placed than the head of the first. This structure has been associated with a variety of foot problems in athletes.

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.

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.

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.
