Flat feet, happy feet? Comparison of the dynamic plantar pressure distribution and static medial foot geometry between Malawian and Dutch adults. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
In contrast to western countries, foot complaints are rare in Africa. This is remarkable, as many African adults walk many hours each day, often barefoot or with worn-out shoes.

Plantar fasciopathy: revisiting the risk factors [PDF]

, 2014
Background Plantar fasciopathy is the most common cause of acquired sub-calcaneal heel pain in adults. To-date, research of this condition has mainly focused on management rather than causal mechanisms.

Kinematic and Kinetic Adaptations to Step Cadence Modulation During Walking in Healthy Adults

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology
Background: Walking cadence is commonly adjusted in sport and rehabilitation, yet its effects on spatiotemporal gait parameters and regional plantar pressure distribution under controlled speed conditions remain incompletely characterized.

Obesity, but not overweight, is associated with plantar light touch sensation in children aged 8 to 16 years: A cross‐sectional study

Obesity Science & Practice, 2020
Summary Objective Increased foot‐ground contact loading engenders adaptive glabrous skin thickening and can decrease mechanoreceptor acuity and alter plantar cutaneous sensation.

Influence of running distance on plantar pressure

Revista Brasileira de Cineantropometria e Desempenho Humano, 2014
Running is a popular sport performed at different places and involving different distances and modalities. Long distance running promotes cumulative loading on joints and soft tissues that could determine important biomechanical alterations.
