Effect of taekwondo on plantar pressure distribution symmetry in dominant and none-dominant limb

The aim of this study was the comparison of plantar pressure distribution, vertical ground reaction force and contact area between dominant and none-dominant limb in top-flight females taekwondo.10 healthy young top-flight females taekwondo were selected. plantar pressure ,vertical ground reaction force and contact area were evaluated by emed system .The obtained data were analyzed by paired -t test and Symmetry index significance difference in toes 3-5 contact area between dominant and none dominant limb In addition Symmetry index for each parameter indicate asymmetry between limbs. The most ground reaction force and plantar pressure applied on heel region and metatarsal 3-5 and the least ground reaction force and plantar pressure applied on toe 2and toes3-5 in both limb.
