“…Plantar pressure measurement equipment is used in many areas of health science [1][2][3][4][5]. This equipment is now considered to be an invaluable tool in the assessment of 'feet at risk' [6] and in integrated biomechanical approaches combining EMG, 3D motion analysis and force plate [7,8].…”

“…Each insole contained 16 microsensors mounted within a constrained hydrocell ( Figure). A detailed description of this measuring system has been reported elsewhere [13], and the accuracy and sensor distribution of the Parotec insoles have been validated by several studies [14,[27][28][29]. The 16 hydrocell sensors were grouped by size and shape to describe eight footprint locations: lateral heel (LH) and medial heel (MH), lateral midfoot (LM) and medial midfoot (MM), fourth to fifth (M4-5), second to third (M2-3), and first (M1) metatarsal heads, and the hallux.…”

“…Clinicians and researchers looking at gait pathologies have overcome the limitations of traditional asymmetry indexes using an impaired versus a less-impaired limb classification [13][14][15]. During walking and in nondisabled gait, the hypotheses of motor dominance [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] or functional asymmetry [4,23] must be considered for one to eliminate the possibility of similar confounding effects.…”

Abstract-In the literature, numerous statistical analyses are used to quantify asymmetry in gait. This study tested the effect size (ES) statistic for quantifying asymmetry in nondisabled and pathological populations. The plantar pressure peaks on eight footprint locations of 27 nondisabled subjects and 18 patients with hemiparesis were bilaterally compared. Asymmetry quantifications were performed with ES and standard statistical tests (index of asymmetry, symmetry index, and ratio index). The results show an advantage in using ES to quantify asymmetry when confidence limits are also calculated. Conversely, traditional asymmetry indexes immediately implied asymmetry without statistical basis. These findings should be considered when one is attempting to diagnose pathological walking patterns or guide rehabilitation processes.

“…The muscular system always maintains a certain degree of muscle contraction (i.e., the tone) and the same movement is allowed by variations between tonic muscles antagonists for combating and symmetrically balance the force of gravity [3][4][5]. Posture is determined by the balance between muscle tone (active force) and gravity (passive force) adjusted according to plan space and positions: in case of asymmetries and abnormal posture, you determine conditions of varied etiological origin, biochemical, emotional, pathological dysfunctional of the stomatognathic [6][7][8].…”

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.
