“…3 Among patients with hallux valgus and metatarsalgia an increased COP velocity was previously demonstrated during gait, when compared to normal feet. 4 While studies have demonstrated the efficacy of using both plantar pressure devices and force plates to record COP, 1,5,6 with normative COP trajectories and velocities determined during walking 3 and running, 7 no investigations have demonstrated the differences in COP kinematics during various gait conditions. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the COP movement when walking under normal and modified gait conditions.…”

“…Furthermore, the pressures exerted on various regions can be observed during different motions and functional activities. Through such observations, influences on individual foot regions can be accurately assessed and analyzed to provide information for the diagnosis and treatment of injuries or to monitor the progress of treatment 9) . Foot pressure studies of older people during walking have focused on changes in plantar foot pressure in relation to age 10,11) .…”

Abstract. [Purpose] This study was performed to investigate changes in plantar foot pressure distribution of older women during walking in shoes with different heel heights.[Subjects] Fourteen older women without foot problems participated in the study.[Methods] Heel heights of the shoes were standardized as 1 cm, 3 cm, and 5 cm. Plantar foot pressure was recorded using the F-scan system (Tekscan Inc, Boston, USA). One-way repeated ANOVA was used to compare foot data obtained at the different heel heights.[Results] Peak plantar pressure values of the dominant lower limb showed significant differences among the different heel heights during the stance phase of gait at the T2-5, M2, MF, and H regions. The contact area of the dominant limb showed significant differences among the different heights at the T2-5, M1, M2, M3, MF, H regions. Antero-posterior and medio-lateral displacements of the trajectory of center of pressure (TCOP) were significantly different among the different heel heights. [Conclusion] Foot pressure distributions of the older women indicate gait pattern altered with shoe heel height.

“…In particular, the benefits of in-shoe pressure monitoring using the F-scan system include the ability to investigate and visualize pressures to specific areas of the foot during walking while patients wear shoes or orthotics. It is also reported that the parameters of F-scan have good reliability (ICC>0.94) and linearity (r=0.96) and the equipment is one of the most commonly used to measure plantar pressure distribution during gait analysis 20,21) . One of the aims of a gait program for a patient with stroke is to encourage recovery as soon as possible and to encourage a return to functional activity.…”

“…To assess the plantar pressure distribution between the affected and unaffected sides during gait with use of the greater trochanter-height cane and to investigate the change of plantar pressures on the affected side between arm-length ratio groups 1 and 2, both feet were divided into three regions, forefoot (FF), midfoot (MF) and hindfoot (HF), using 40%, 30% and 30% of the total foot length, respectively 20) . The parameters of contact area (CA), contact width (CW), contact pressure (CP), and peak contact pressure (PCP) were calculated and averaged for each foot region as the stance phase of gait progressed from heel-strike to toe-off.…”

Abstract.[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in plantar pressure distribution on the affected side related to arm length ratio to height of adult hemiplegia patients during gait.[Subjects] Twenty-four individuals with stroke were included in this study.[Methods] Subjects were divided into two groups according to the ratio of arm length to total height of each individual: group 1 had a ratio of less than 50% and group 2 had a ratio equal to or greater than 50%. The F-scan system was used to investigate the foot pressures of both feet with data captured during three strides.[Results] Group 1 showed greater increase in contact width, contact pressure, and peak contact pressure of the hind foot of the affected side. [Conclusion] With the use of a cane height standardized to the greater trochanter, group 1 was more effective than group 2 at increasing foot pressures of the hind foot on the affected side of stroke patients. The adjustment of cane length according to the individual's ratio of arm length to height, because of unique physical characteristics of individuals should be considered for patients with stroke who use a cane daily.
