“…However, Carvalho et al 12 demonstrated the relation of low mobility of the hallux with plantar pressure increase in older adults when compared to young adults. The fact this joint has not been investigated by this study justifies the absence of the relation between the ROM of LL with plantar pressure increase.…”

“…Such alterations affect the musculoskeletal system, accompanied by a loss of muscle mass, decrease of strength and ROM of lower limbs (LL), of endurance [6][7][8] and alterations in bone structure, such as alterations in the feet, influencing plantar pressure distribution, affecting the somatosensory information and therefore, balance [9][10][11][12] .…”

“…If the shift in the center of gravity changes minimally, this relation is changed so that one foot has to carry more total load. Therefore, pressure plates are a suitable instrument for measuring balance and postural stability [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. When the body weight is transferred, the pressure is distributed most strongly in the hindfoot, then decreasingly in the midfoot and forefoot.…”

Background The aim of this study was to collect standard reference values of the weight and the maximum pressure distribution in healthy adults aged 18–65 years and to investigate the influence of constitutional parameters on it. Methods A total of 416 healthy subjects (208 male / 208 female) aged between 18 and 65 years (Ø 38.3 ± 14.1 years) participated in this study, conducted 2015–2019 in Heidelberg. The age-specific evaluation is based on 4 age groups (G1, 18–30 years; G2, 31–40 years; G3, 41–50 years; G4, 51–65 years). A pressure measuring plate FDM-S (Zebris/Isny/Germany) was used to collect body weight distribution and maximum pressure distribution of the right and left foot and left and right forefoot/rearfoot, respectively. Results Body weight distribution of the left (50.07%) and right (50.12%) foot was balanced. There was higher load on the rearfoot (left 54.14%; right 55.09%) than on the forefoot (left 45.49%; right 44.26%). The pressure in the rearfoot was higher than in the forefoot (rearfoot left 9.60 N/cm2, rearfoot right 9.51 N/cm2/forefoot left 8.23 N/cm2, forefoot right 8.59 N/cm2). With increasing age, the load in the left foot shifted from the rearfoot to the forefoot as well as the maximum pressure (p ≤ 0.02 and 0.03; poor effect size). With increasing BMI, the body weight shifted to the left and right rearfoot (p ≤ 0.001, poor effect size). As BMI increased, so did the maximum pressure in all areas (p ≤ 0.001 and 0.03, weak to moderate effect size). There were significant differences in weight and maximum pressure distribution in the forefoot and rearfoot in the different age groups, especially between younger (18–40 years) and older (41–65 years) subjects. Discussion Healthy individuals aged from 18 to 65 years were found to have a balanced weight distribution in an aspect ratio, with a 20% greater load of the rearfoot. Age and BMI were found to be influencing factors of the weight and maximum pressure distribution, especially between younger and elder subjects. The collected standard reference values allow comparisons with other studies and can serve as a guideline in clinical practice and scientific studies.

“…In contrast, this study found that HVA can help increase the path of the COP shift rather than plantar pressure, according to linear regression analysis. Carvalho et al [27] asserted that HV could affect sway during shifts of the COP to varying degrees, depending on the forefoot width and foot arch. Wen et al [13] reported that contact time extends as motions increase loading on the lateral and medial rear foot regions.…”

Background Hallux valgus (HV) is the most common musculoskeletal deformity of the foot. This deformity is accompanied with pain and continues to decrease one’s quality of life. Furthermore, HV has been reported to affect gait ability and static stability. This study aimed to compare one-leg stance and gait between people with and without HV, and to investigate the effect of the HV angle on one-leg stance and gait ability. Methods Forty young adults with HV (6 men, 34 women) were enrolled. In the HV and normal groups, people who had undergone surgery or were unable to participate in the study because of pain in the lower extremity were excluded. Using the Zebris FDM model 1.5 (Zebris Medical GmbH, Isny, Germany), we analyzed gait parameters and one-leg stance in all subject to compare gait and static balance between the normal and HV groups. The obtained data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U-test to determine differences in one-leg stance and gait parameters between the group groups. In addition, a simple regression analysis was performed to determine the effect of the HV angle on one-leg stance and gait parameters. The significance level was set at ɑ=0.05. Results Significant differences were found in sway length and time change from the heel to forefoot during walking between the normal and HV groups. Most parameters were not associated with the HV angle, but a few one-leg stance and gait parameters were significantly associated with the HV angle. Conclusions These results suggest that most one-leg stance and gait parameters were not significantly affected by the HV angle in young adults; however, a few parameters were significantly different between the normal and HV groups. Because walking is a repetitive movement, young adults with HV could potentially have cumulative damage of the feet in later stages of life.
