Variability of Postural Stability and Plantar Pressure Parameters in Healthy Subjects Evaluated by a Novel Pressure Plate

Abstract: Background: Postural stability and plantar pressure parameters can be assessed by baropodometry; nevertheless, they are often affected by low repeatability. The aim of the study was to test the accuracy and repeatability of a novel resistive sensor pressure plate and to establish the most reliable baropodometric parameters. Methods: Accuracy and repeatability of the FM12050 BTS-Bioengineering plate measurements were assessed by using different weights in static conditions across three sessions. Subsequently, 2… Show more

“…Changes in the ANS can lead to changes in heart rate variability, as heart-brain interactions are essential for vital functions [26]. In this context, SCI can lead to autonomic disorders that increase the risk of developing cardiovascular changes and imbalance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems [27]. The literature indicates that autonomic function can improve after exercise, but recommendations on workload monitoring and activity prescription for this population are still scarce [27].…”

“…In this context, SCI can lead to autonomic disorders that increase the risk of developing cardiovascular changes and imbalance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems [27]. The literature indicates that autonomic function can improve after exercise, but recommendations on workload monitoring and activity prescription for this population are still scarce [27]. Recent findings by our research group indicate that amputees who practice physical activity can also remain in the orthostatic posture using the same equipment proposed in this study, for 90 min and without changes in autonomic functions [25].…”

“…Moreover, 3D stereophotogrammetry is also used for optoelectronic plethysmography to assess thoracic and abdominal movements during breathing ( Massaroni et al, 2017 ). For the analysis of body oscillations, force plate, and stabilometry are used to analyze postural stability parameters in open ( De Blasiis et al, 2023 ) and closed eyes ( Fullin et al, 2022 ), considering their reliability and variability too. Eventually, levels of psychological stress can be evaluated by wearable sensors.…”

“…Posture is defined as the position of the human-body segments and their orientation in space [ 1 ]. Postural Control System (PCS) processes the peripheral sensory afferents and modulates the muscle chains in order to keep the projection of the center of body mass between the two feet against the force of gravity, ensuring minimal energy expenditure through functional neuromuscular adaptation and biomechanical strategies [ 1 , 2 ]. PCS acts continuously both in static and dynamic phases, guaranteeing balance in the most unstable postural conditions [ 3 ]; however, its precise functioning may be affected by age, cognitive–motor factors and organic pathologies [ 4 ], therefore an accurate postural analysis may be useful during medical diagnostic–therapeutic process.…”

Posture can be evaluated by clinical and instrumental methods: while the former is greatly prone to inter-operator variability, the latter allows the quantification of any postural elements, such as postural stability [ 2 ], morphology and symmetry [ 5 ] of musculoskeletal districts and/or plantar pressures in static and dynamic conditions. The gold standard for the three-dimensional analysis of whole-body posture in standing and during various motor tasks is 3D stereophotogrammetry [ 6 ].…”
