“…Four articles examined the effect of rocker in shoes on the plantar pressure in which 2 articles were case control [29,30], 1 RCT [31], and 1 article review [32]. In this context, there are 4 articles that examined the impact of rocker on shoes with insoles where 2 articles were RCT [33,34], 1 article case control [6], and 1 systematic review [16]. Reported results of the studies show that using rocker is very effective on healing or preventing the diabetic foot ulcer, especially if the rocker is placed outside the shoes and standard insoles inside it.…”

Purpose: Today considering the high prevalence of diabetes and its associated pressure ulcers, also irreparable consequences such as amputation and death, the use of orthotic devices is increasing. A variety of devices have designed to prevent ulcers in the patients' feet, however other aspects of the treatment, especially the performance of these patients in standing and walking, which are their main daily activities, have not been considered in designing and use of orthotic devices. In addition, the differences between the available devices and their effects have not been described yet. Therefore the aim of this review article is to answer these issues. Methods:A comprehensive research was done in databases of PubMed, Google Scholar, and ISI Web of Knowledge. The keywords such as "diabetic neuropathy", "orthosis", "plantar pressure", "balance", "energy consumption", and "spatial-temporal parameters of gait" and their results were analyzed. The quality of articles were evaluated by Downs and Black tool.Results: After proper search, 245 English articles were found with the related keywords. Then, 184 articles were excluded because of a common title or incomplete text. Also, 25 articles were excluded from the study, because their contents did not relate highly to this study or have reasonable conclusion based on the findings of other articles. Eventually the results of 36 articles were examined and reported. Conclusion:This study has examined the various articles from randomized control trial to case report. Most studies emphasized on the reduction of plantar pressures and ulcer treatment with orthotic devices. A few studies are available on the effects of orthosis in standing balance and walking parameters. However, no study was found with regard to the effect of orthotic treatments on energy consumption in these patients. Because this topic is very important, it is suggested that future studies be focused on these issues.

“…Nawata et al analyzed the plantar pressure of 70 students during exercise [5]; Sacco et al analyzed the effects of different types of shoes on the leg muscles and plantar pressure [4]; Mika et al studied the influence of high heels on the spines and plantar arch of women during gait [6]; Nagel and Van et al studied how to modify the structure of shoes to reduce the pressure in forefoot [7][8]; De et al studied the changes in plantar pressure during running on bare foot and in shoes [9]; Henning et al studied the difference in plantar pressure in different kinds of sports shoes [10]. At the same time, some scholars also designed healthcare shoes that could help people lose weight, correct posture, reduce injuries during gait and lower plantar loads [11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

ABSTRACT. This paper studies the effects of sports shoes in improving people's exercise capacity and preventing sports injuries, and by performing gait (0.8m/s), jogging (1.5m/s) and moderate-speed running (2.3m/s) tests on athletes, discusses the characteristics of plantar pressure distribution on bare foot or in different sports shoes. According to the research results, when athletes are bare foot and wearing sports shoes, the heel region bears the largest pressure in both cases. When bare foot, the plantar pressure on the first toe region is also large, but when in sports shoes, the plantar pressure in this region is significantly reduced. During bare foot gait, plantar pressure is relatively concentrated in toe, forefoot and heel regions; during gait in sports shoes, plantar pressure is evenly distributed. Shoes are designed to allow the arch region to also bear some pressure so that the whole plantar pressure tends to be even. During jogging and gait, the ground reaction forces given by NIKE sports shoes to the 4 plantar regions are small, indicating that NIKE shoes provide better cushioning effects compared with the other two sports shoe brands; ADIDAS shoes provides the poorest cushioning effects -the pressure is high and concentrated in forefoot, arch and heel regions, bringing more harm to the foot arch region. The pressure brought by these 3 brands of sports shoes does not vary much in the toe bone region, but significantly in the arch region. KEY WORDS: plantar pressure, pressure distribution, sports shoes, pressure intensity, running STUDIU EXPERIMENTAL PRIVIND CARACTERISTICILE DISTRIBUŢIEI PRESIUNII PLANTARE LA PURTAREA DIFERITELOR TIPURI DE PANTOFISPORT REZUMAT. Această lucrare studiază efectele încălţămintei sportive asupra îmbunătăţirii capacităţii persoanelor de a face sport şi asupra prevenirii leziunilor cauzate de sport. În urma efectuării unor teste de mers (0,8 m/s), jogging (1,5 m/s) şi alergare cu viteză moderată (2,3 m/s) se discută caracteristicile distribuţiei presiunii plantare în timpul exerciţiilor cu piciorul gol sau purtând diferite tipuri de pantofi sport. Conform rezultatelor cercetărilor, atât în cazul în care sportivii sunt desculţi, cât şi atunci când poartă pantofi sport, regiunea călcâiului suportă cea mai mare presiune. În cazul mersului desculţ, presiunea plantară în zona degetului mare este de asemenea mare, însă la purtarea pantofilor sport, presiunea plantară în această regiune este semnificativ redusă. În timpul mersului desculţ, presiunea plantară este relativ concentrată în regiunile degetelor, antepiciorului şi călcâiului; în timpul mersului cu pantofi sport, presiunea plantară este uniform distribuită. Pantofii sunt proiectaţi pentru a permite şi bolţii piciorului să suporte o anumită presiune, astfel încât întreaga presiune plantară să fie distribuită uniform. În timpul jogging-ului şi al mersului, forţele de reacţiune ale solului la purtarea pantofilor sport NIKE în cele 4 regiuni plantare sunt mici, ceea ce indică faptul că pantofii NIKE oferă amortizare mai bu...

ABSTRACT. This article aims to analyze the feet of a single subject regarding the footprints, the foot axis deviation angle, the hallux-valgus angle, the repartition of surfaces and impulses and also, the balance of the feet. The footprints were used to analyse the typology of the feet. It has been demonstrated that the right foot is different from the left foot in what concerns the foot axis angle, the hallux-valgus angle, the repartition of surface and impulse for each foot and also for the balance of the feet. A complete knowledge of the feet can be obtained; and then, solutions can be proposed and found. In this case the solutions were special insole for each foot. The next stage of the research will be focused on designing and rapid prototyping of personalized insoles for this particular subject.
