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.

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 Deformities, Function in the Lower Extremities, and Plantar Pressure in Patients With Diabetes at High Risk to Develop Foot Ulcers

Diabetic Foot & Ankle, 2015
Objective : Foot deformities, neuropathy, and dysfunction in the lower extremities are known risk factors that increase plantar peak pressure (PP) and, as a result, the risk of developing foot ulcers in patients with diabetes.

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.

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
