Effects of neural mobilization of sciatic nerve and its branches in plantar foot pressures and stabilometry [PDF]

Benefits of neural mobilization (NM) have been described in musculoskeletal patients. The effects of NM on balance appear to be unclear in research, and no studies have tested the possible effects of NM on plantar pressures.

Higher Levels of Physical Fitness Are Associated with Lower Peak Plantar Pressures in Older Women

, 2020
Little is known about how physical fitness is associated with peak plantar pressures in older adults. Therefore, the main purpose of the study was to explore whether higher physical fitness levels were associated with lower peak plantar pressures in a ...

Do contoured in-shoe foot orthoses reduce foot plantar pressures by increasing plantar contact area during cycling?. (Abstract) [PDF]

, 2006
Foot pain and numbness are frequently reported among cyclists and believed to be the result of repetitive high pressures occurring beneath the foot. Orthoses may be used to mitigate these high pressures by distributing them over a larger plantar surface ...

Footwear and insole design features that reduce neuropathic plantar forefoot ulcer risk in people with diabetes: a systematic literature review

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2020
Background In people with diabetes, offloading high-risk foot regions by optimising footwear, or insoles, may prevent ulceration. This systematic review aimed to summarise and evaluate the evidence for footwear and insole features that reduce ...

Redistribution of joint moments is associated with changed plantar pressure in diabetic polyneuropathy

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2009
Background Patients with diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) are often confronted with ulceration of foot soles. Increased plantar pressure under the forefoot has been identified as a major risk factor for ulceration. This study sets out to test the hypothesis

PLANTAR PRESSURES IN HEALTHY CHILDREN AND IN CHILDREN WITH MYELOMENINGOCELE

, 1973
1. It has been shown in fifty normal feet that the perpendicular static plantar pressures rise by about 35 per cent between the ages of five years and maturity. 2. It is very likely that similar increases in plantar pressures occur between two and five
