Plantar pressure distribution during treadmill walking in comfort shoes with PLA(Poly Lactic Acid) resins
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the framework of environmentally friendly processes and products, poly lactic acid(PLA) represents the best polymeric substitutes for various petropolymers because of its renewability, biodegradability, biocompatibility and good thermomechanical properties [1]. The purpose of this study was to analyze foot pressure distribution of PLA materials in functional shoes. Comfort is an important aspect in footwear. Footwear comfort has an influence on

Do you get value for money when you buy an expensive pair of running shoes?
OBJECTIVE This investigation aims to determine if more expensive running shoes provide better cushioning of plantar pressure and are more comfortable than low-cost alternatives from the same brand. METHODS Three pairs of running shoes were purchased from three different manufacturers at three different price ranges: low (40-45 pounds), medium (60-65 pounds) and high (70-75 pounds). Plantar pr...
متن کاملComparison of Plantar Force, Pressure and Impulse During Walking in Men and Women With Flat Feet
Objective: This study aims to compare the variables of plantar force, pressure and impulse during walking in men and women with flat feet. Methods: The study population consists of non-athlete students with and without flat feet. Of these, 48 (male and female) were selected as study samples. The peak pressure, force and impulse on the foot were measured during walking by a foot scanner at a sa...
متن کاملThe effect of walking speed on peak plantar pressure.
BACKGROUND Plantar pressure measurements often are used as a tool to evaluate pathologic gait. Previous studies, often done at self-selected walking speeds, have used peak plantar pressure to try to predict ulcer formation, compare surgical outcomes, and evaluate orthotic device efficacy. However, the relationship between walking speed and plantar pressures at specific plantar regions has not b...
متن کاملA Comparison of ‘neutral’ Running Shoes on Plantar Pressure Patterns and Perceived Comfort in Athletes with a Cavus Foot Type: a Crossover, Randomized Controlled Trial
INTRODUCTION Athletes with a cavus foot structure have a higher rate of injury compared to athletes with other foot types (Cowan et al., 1993; Burns et al., 2005b). This increased risk of injury is thought to be associated with the elevated plantar pressure seen in people with a cavus foot (Burns et al., 2005a; Sneyers et al, 1995). Athletes with a cavus foot type are routinely recommended ‘neu...
