A comparison of planatar pressure variables during three differnt running patterns in pronated feet individuals with and without low back pain

 Aims and background: Individuals with pronated feet suffer from many biomechanical dysfunctions during running. The purpose of this study was to compare the peak plantar pressure in ten areas of the foot, ground reaction force, center of pressure and loading rate during three different running patterns between healthy subjects and pronated feet individuals with and without LBP. Materials a...

Reducing plantar pressure in rheumatoid arthritis: a comparison of running versus off-the-shelf orthopaedic footwear.

BACKGROUND Foot pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis is common and can be associated with excessive forefoot plantar pressure loading. Running and off-the-shelf orthopaedic footwear are commonly recommended to manage foot pain and discomfort in these patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of running footwear as an alternative to off-the-shelf orthopaedic footwear on pl...

The biomechanical study of the influence to the forefoot plantar pressure of the first tarsometatarsal joint fracture-dislocation fixed by three different implants

OBJECTIVES To study the influence of forefoot plantar pressure of the first tarsometatarsal joint fracture-dislocation by three different implants to provide experimental reference in selecting implants. METHODS Eight fresh foot specimens were made into the models of the first tarsometatarsal joint fracture-dislocation, which were fixed with 3.5 mm cortical screw, 1/4 tubular plate and compre...

Relation between Maximum Plantar Pressure Distribution and Clubhead Speed in Amateur Golfers

Disagreements exist regarding the manner in which weight should be dynamically shared both withinand between-feet to generate maximal golf clubhead speed. The purpose of this study was test the null hypothesis that maximum plantar pressure (PP) distributions do not correlate with clubhead speed. Thirty-two amateur golfers (handicaps: 2.7-25) performed 10 swings with a driver. Clubhead speed was...
