Comparison of the plantar pressure distribution and mechanical alignment in patients with varus knee osteoarthritis following high tibial osteotomy [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023 Purpose The changes in the lower limb alignment were vitally important after high tibial osteotomy (HTO). Therefore, the purpose of present study was to analyze the characteristics of plantar pressure distribution after HTO, and to investigate the effect

Prevalence of flatfoot and analysis of plantar pressure distribution in adolescents based on body mass index: a regional study [PDF]
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and ResearchBackground The foot is an essential organ for human locomotion. Assessment of plantar pressure distribution could provide key clinical information on foot functions. However, the mechanism that links body mass index to injury is not clear.

Can Plantar Pressure Distribution During Gait Be Estimated from Quiet Stance in Healthy Individuals? [PDF]
J Funct Morphol KinesiolObjectives: We assessed the difference between quiet stance and gait in the spatial distribution and intensity of foot plantar pressures and whether it is possible to estimate the distribution during gait from data obtained during stance.

The Influence of General and Local Muscle Fatigue on Kinematics and Plantar Pressure Distribution during Running: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]
Sports (Basel), 2023 Fatigue has the potential to alter how impact forces are absorbed during running, heightening the risk of injury. Conflicting findings exist regarding alterations in both kinematics and plantar pressure.

Analysis of Diabetic Foot Deformation and Plantar Pressure Distribution of Women at Different Walking Speeds [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2023 Highlights Foot measurements show an insignificant increase at a more rapid walking speed. Faster walking speed results in higher mean peak plantar pressure in the forefoot and heel areas, along with a lower pressure time integral in all foot regions ...

The influence of altered lower-limb muscle strength on dynamic plantar pressure distribution in participants who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction [PDF]
Front Sports Act LivingIntroduction Deficits in lower-limb muscle strength and altered gait mechanics are common after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL). While isokinetic strength testing is widely accepted in return-to-sport assessment, the role of plantar ...

Numerical Simulation of the Effect of Different Footwear Midsole Structures on Plantar Pressure Distribution and Bone Stress in Obese and Healthy Children [PDF]
Bioengineering (Basel), 2023 The foot, as the foundation of the human body, bears the vast majority of the body’s weight. Obese children bear more weight than healthy children in the process of walking and running.
