Evaluation of Plantar Pressure and Stability Parameters in a Forefoot Offloading Footwear: A Comparative Study

Applied Sciences
Forefoot offloading footwear is widely used in postoperative care, trauma management, and the prevention of diabetic foot ulceration, where redistribution of plantar load must be achieved without compromising gait stability.

Plantar enthesopathy : thickening of the enthesis is correlated with energy dissipation of the plantar fat pad during walking

, 2010
Background: The enthesis of the plantar fascia is thought to play an important role in stress dissipation. However, the potential link between entheseal thickening characteristic of enthesopathy and the stress-dissipating properties of the intervening ...

Two-week cumulative tendon load estimated from insole sensor contact forces is associated with plantar flexor function in Achilles tendinopathy

Scientific Reports
Tendon loading dictates rehabilitation outcomes in Achilles tendinopathy but is difficult to track in the real world. In this study, we used instrumented insole sensors to monitor Achilles tendon load for two weeks in fifteen individuals with Achilles ...
