“…Foot pressure signals were recorded at a sampling rate of 120 Hz and analyzed using dedicated computer software (WinFDMS v.1.18.40, Zebris Medical GmbH Standort Seltmans, Weitnau, Germany) [ 37 ]. The recorded images displayed the footprint of each participant’s foot, with hot colors (red, orange, yellow) indicating higher pressures and cold colors (blue, green) indicating lower pressures [ 38 ] ( Figure 1 ). This pressure distribution platform has been previously used by Cobos-Moreno et al [ 39 ] in a study involving 52 subjects to identify physiological lower limb pressures, demonstrating a high reliability index (r = 0.95) [ 39 ].…”

Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is characterized by muscle weakness and impaired neuromuscular control. This study aimed (a) to assess the impact of external verbal feedback on the dynamic balance of athletes with CAI and (b) to examine the maintenance of dynamic balance ability after the end of the completion of the intervention balance program. Thirty athletes (mean age 21.63 ± 1.53) were randomly divided into three groups: an experimental group with external verbal feedback, 1st control group without external verbal feedback and the 2nd control group without balance training and without feedback. Assessments using a balance board and the ‘Y-balance’ test were conducted before and after the balance training period. Additionally, participants completed the Cumberland Ankle Joint Instability Tool. A retention test of balance ability was administered after the 4-week intervention period. Statistical analysis revealed a significant overall improvement in balance (F(2,36) =5.96, p = 0.006, partial η2 =0.249), including those with no balance training, but no significant differences between the groups. Thus, the external verbal feedback did not show a positive impact on the balance ability between the three different groups. Also, the experimental group with the external verbal feedback demonstrated maintenance of dynamic balance learning ability. Although it appears that balance training has a positive effect on the dynamic balance of individuals with CAI, a non-positive impact of external verbal feedback was found. Also, it appears that external verbal feedback significantly led to sustained retention of balance learning ability. Further research is recommended to validate these findings.

“…Esta escala consiste en fotografías estandarizadas de pies con cuatro grados de HV (ninguno [A], leve [B], moderado [C] y grave [D]). El APP se evaluó utilizando la plataforma de presión T-Plate ® (Medicapteurs, Francia) con 1600 sensores resistivos de 10 × 10 mm, con una superficie activa de 400 × 400 mm 27 , registrando una media de cinco pasos para cada pie a la cadencia individual y natural de cada paciente. Posteriormente, se utilizó el programa de medición de ángulos, Ruler ® (diseñado por Ergonautas, Universidad Politécnica de Valencia), para medir el ángulo de progresión de cada pie.…”

Analizar las diferencias de lateralidad en el movimiento de rotación y torsión en la extremidad inferior y su posible influencia en el desarrollo del hallux abductus valgus.Pacientes y métodos: La muestra incluyó 129 mujeres. Se evaluó el grado de severidad del hallux abductus valgus, la rotación de cadera, la torsión tibial, la movilidad de la primera articulación metatarsofalángica, el índice postural del pie y el ángulo de progresión del pie.Resultados: Nuestros resultados mostraron que existían diferencias en la rotación externa entre ambas caderas de 2.34° (p < 0.001) y entre la rotación interna y externa de la cadera izquierda de 4.11° (p < 0.002). También se encontró una diferencia del ángulo de progresión del pie de 3° (p < 0.001), pero no hubo diferencias significativas entre la torsión tibial y el índice postural del pie (p > 0.05). Se encontró una diferencia en el rango de movimiento entre ambas primeras articulaciones metatarsofalángicas de 6.30° (p < 0.001), y se halló una relación entre la extensión y el rango de movimiento de la primera articulación metatarsofalángica y el hallux abductus valgus (p < 0.05).Conclusiones: En base a los resultados obtenidos en esta muestra, los datos apuntan a un mayor rango de movimiento de la primera articulación metatarsofalángica en el pie izquierdo. Los resultados también indican un probable predominio de rotación interna de la extremidad izquierda y de rotación externa de la extremidad derecha, que no mostraron asociación con el estadio del hallux abductus valgus en este estudio.

Purpose Obesity is a growing health problem that affects a high percentage of the population. In podiatry context, few studies have addressed obesity because most pedobarographic systems are unable to bear the weight of patients with obesity, making it difficult to examine and manage these patients. The objective of this study was analyzed the sociodemographic characteristics, quality of life, foot disorders, and pedobarographic parameters of patients with extreme obesity who are candidates for bariatric surgery and determine the changes after weight loss post-surgery. Materials and Methods We conducted a foot examination, a pedobarographic study using a Podoprint® pressure platform, and a quality of life questionnaire (EQ-5D) on 23 patients with extreme obesity and analyzed the changes 12–18 months after surgery in 11 of them. Results We observed foot disorders, high plantar pressure, greater rearfoot contact, flat footprint, asymmetries, and alterations in toe contact. Almost 73.9% of participants said they had foot pain, 56.5% said they had impaired mobility, and more than 40% said they had limitations in carrying out daily activities and suffered from anxiety. After weight loss, we observed improved quality of life; more foot disorders; changes in total contact area, plantar pressures, barycenter, contact time, and footprint; decreased pain perception, walking problems and anxiety situations. Moreover, medication decreased, but they need to take more vitamins and calcium. Conclusion Weight loss improved the quality of life of the participating patients but altered their foot disorders. All parameters need regular reassessment to detect changes and modify initially prescribed treatments. Graphical Abstract
