“…during gait, however, the hindfoot and forefoot areas suffered greater pressure, and the midfoot area had the lowest peak pressure. this distribution of peak pressure throughout the foot during stance and gait, both in obese and eutrophic children, is supported by literature 2,3,8,12,16 .…”

“…however, the manner of contact of the foot was similar in both groups during stance and gait, with greater support on the posterior (hindfoot) and lateral (lateral midfoot and forefoot) areas. these results are supported by studies that compared obese children 7,8,10 and adults to eutrophic [11][12][13] ones.…”

“…the plantar pressure distribution studies assessed plantar pressure peaks during stance and gait and found higher values in the entire plantar area for obese children when compared to eutrophic ones; however, the most significant differences are in the midfoot and forefoot areas, probably due to the structural and functional modifications of obese children's feet. this behavior also occurs in obese adults when compared to eutrophic adults, both in static and in dynamic conditions [11][12][13] .…”

“…Mono-or bi-lateral claw feet can be clinically silent or associated with different diseases and the condition is considered a specific risk factor for different pathologies of bones, joints, and muscles, such as the plantar fasciitis (see Warren et al, 1984Warren et al, , 1987. Using a baropodometer, the present study verifies the influence of bilateral claw foot on the plantar support surfaces and loads in normal weight subjects of both sexes, excluding overweight and obesity, which significantly modify the plantar support (Hills et al, 2001;Gravante et al, 2003).…”

We analyzed the plantar support in 72 normal-weight young voluntaries (46 women, 26 men), by a baropodometric platform. We considered subjects with claw foot (CFS) and subjects with normal foot (NFS). We found a significant reduction of total plantar support surface in the CFS (P < 0.0001 for women, P < 0.001 for men), due to the reduction of the forefoot and rear foot areas of both plantar imprints. Indeed, CFS of both sexes exhibited higher values of both plantar pressure and peak pressure, compared to the NFS. Moreover, the load per units of plantar surface increased in CFS compared to the NFS. In conclusion, the reduction of plantar support surfaces in CFS of both sexes was associated to a major load per units of plantar surface in the forefoot and rear foot areas, and this may be a risk factor to lower extremity overuse injuries.

“…Plantar pressure pattern can indicate the condition of the biomechanics of foot and ankle. It is widely used for diagnosis of foot health problems [29][30][31]. Considering the high prevalence of the mentioned three kinds of foot deformities the human foot has two functions: weight-bearing and propulsion [13,20,[32][33][34].…”

Posture is human fundamental ability that deals with the scientific and clinical study of body position in space, in order of maintaining balance in both static and dynamic conditions, in relation to the psychic functions, biochemical and somatosensory individual for the maintenance or achievement of health status. The aim of the present study was to examine if a medical device (plantar), called RUGRAN, can improve muscle rehabilitation in pain syndromes muscle-tendon for the correction and stabilization postural. The static pedobarographic evaluation revealed significantly higher values in terms of forefoot peak pressure, total plantar force and total contact area in subject without RUGARN plantar, compared to subjects with RUGARN plantar. This is the first study that investigated the pedobarographic changes in subjects with the RUGARN plantar. The static pedobarographic findings we observed while the subjects were standing revealed no difference of force distribution and contact area between forefoot and rearfoot and this finding did not support the hypothesis that the centre of the body shifts to forward because of excessive adipose tissue causing excessive forefoot loading.
