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.

Impact of foot progression angle on the distribution of plantar pressure in normal children

Clinical Biomechanics, 2014
BACKGROUND: Plantar pressure distribution during walking is affected by several gait factors, most especially the foot progression angle which has been studied in children with neuromuscular diseases.

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.

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.

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 ...
