Foot Plantar Pressure Measurement System: A Review [PDF]
Sensors, 2012 Foot plantar pressure is the pressure field that acts between the foot and the support surface during everyday locomotor activities. Information derived from such pressure measures is important in gait and posture research for diagnosing lower limb ...

Reliability of plantar pressure platforms
Gait and Posture, 2013 Plantar pressure measurement is common practice in many research and clinical protocols. While the accuracy of some plantar pressure measuring devices and methods for ensuring consistency in data collection on plantar pressure measuring devices have been reported, the reliability of different devices when testing the same individuals is not known. This

Identification of Foot Pathologies Based on Plantar Pressure Asymmetry
Sensors, 2015 Foot pathologies can negatively influence foot function, consequently impairing gait during daily activity, and severely impacting an individual’s quality of life. These pathologies are often painful and correspond with high or abnormal plantar pressure,

Registration of plantar pressure images [PDF]
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering, 2011 SUMMARYIn this work, five computational methodologies to register plantar pressure images are compared: (1) the first methodology is based on matching the external contours of the feet; (2) the second uses the phase correlation technique; (3) the third addresses the direct maximization of cross‐correlation using the Fourier transform; (4) the fourth ...

Distribution of Plantar Pressure in Soccer Players [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021 (1) Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in the static and dynamic distribution of foot pressure on the ground and to investigate the relationships between body mass index (BMI) and mean variables of plantar pressure between soccer players and their non-athlete peers.

Plantar Pressure Assessment [PDF]
Physical Therapy, 2000 Measurements of plantar pressure provide an indication of foot and ankle functions during gait and other functional activities, because the foot and ankle provide both the necessary support and flexibility for weight bearing and weight shifting while performing these activities.1–3 Although plantar pressure data have been recognized as an important ...

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022 Objective: People with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) are usually accompanied with increased plantar pressure. Such high plantar loading during daily activities may cause changes in the biomechanical properties of plantar soft tissue, whose ...

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.
