“…The ANOVA and SNK on the perceived shape ratings (Table 6) showed that the plantar shape of SS60 as having the highest preference and the shape on PU as having the lowest preference among all 16 participants. The potential reason for the differences may be related to plantar pressure (Alemány et al, 2003) as high plantar pressures are related to discomfort (Godfrey et al, 1967;Hodge et al, 1999). Figures 6 and 7 show the plantar pressure distribution of two participants when standing on the three surfaces.…”

“…High plantar pressures have been linked to foot pain and discomfort (Gardner et al, 1988;Godfrey et al, 1967;Hodge et al, 1999;Silvino et al, 1980). Many researchers have performed studies to compare the effectiveness of reducing plantar pressure with different materials (Leber and Evanski, 1986) and shoe inserts (Chiu and Wang, 2007;Lee and Hong, 2005;Tsung et al, 2004).…”

Effects of surface characteristics on the plantar shape of feet and subjects’ perceived sensations

Orthotics and other types of shoe inserts are primarily designed to reduce injury and improve comfort. The interaction between the plantar surface of the foot and the load bearing surface contributes to foot and surface deformations and hence to perceived comfort, discomfort or pain. The plantar shapes of 16 participants' feet were captured when standing on three support surfaces that had different cushioning properties in the mid-foot region. Foot shape deformations were quantified using 3D laser scans. A questionnaire was used to evaluate the participant's perceptions of perceived shape and perceived feeling. The results showed that the structure in the mid-foot can change shape, independent of the rear-foot and forefoot regions. Participants were capable of identifying the shape changes with distinct preferences towards certain shapes. The cushioning properties of the mid-foot materials also have a direct influence on perceived feelings. This research has strong implications for the design and material selection of orthotics, insoles and footwear.

“…The decrease in plantar pressure peaks is considered important for susceptible populations like overweight people to avoid and treat injuries (Pérez-Soriano, Llana-Belloch, Martínez-Nova, Morey-Klapsing, & Encarnación-Martí-nez, 2011). Significant positive correlations were found between plantar pressures and pain ratings (Hodge, Bach, & Carter, 1999). Two studies addressed the plantar pressure analysis in the overweight adult population.…”

Purpose: Because walking is highly recommended for prevention and treatment of obesity and some of its biomechanical aspects are not clearly understood for overweight people, we compared the absolute and normalized ground reaction forces (GRF), plantar pressures, and temporal parameters of normal-weight and overweight participants during overground walking. Method: A force plate and an in-shoe pressure system were used to record GRF, plantar pressures (foot divided in 10 regions), and temporal parameters of 17 overweight adults and 17 gender-matched normal-weight adults while walking. Results: With high effect sizes, the overweight participants showed higher absolute medial-lateral and vertical GRF and pressure peaks in the central rearfoot, lateral midfoot, and lateral and central forefoot. However, analyzing normalized (scaled to body weight) data, the overweight participants showed lower vertical and anterior-posterior GRF and lower pressure peaks in the medial rearfoot and hallux, but the lateral forefoot peaks continued to be greater compared with normal-weight participants. Time of occurrence of medial-lateral GRF and pressure peaks in the midfoot occurred later in overweight individuals. Conclusions: The overweight participants adapted their gait pattern to minimize the consequences of the higher vertical and propulsive GRF in their musculoskeletal system. However, they were not able to improve their balance as indicated by medial-lateral GRF. The overweight participants showed higher absolute pressure peaks in 4 out of 10 foot regions. Furthermore, the normalized data suggest that the lateral forefoot in overweight adults was loaded more than the proportion of their extra weight, while the hallux and medial rearfoot were seemingly protected.

“…The use of plantar orthoses has been recommended to reduce painful conditions related to the feet [13][14][15] and spine 12,16 . It is suggested that these devices may affect the distribution of plantar loads in contact with rigid surfaces, thus reducing the absorption of shocks and minimizing pain in the lower limbs and lumbar spine 6 because a better distribution of body weight on the plantar area provides proper alignment to the pelvis and, therefore, to the spine 17 .…”

Hodge, Bach and Carter 13 investigated the effectiveness of plantar orthoses in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis and metatarsalgia and showed reductions in pain and pressure in the first and second metatarsals. Jannink et al 14 evaluated the effectiveness of customized insoles in patients with degenerative foot problems and concluded that they were effective in reducing symptoms and plantar pressure.…”
