Static and dynamic plantar pressure measurements in adolescents
Abstract
Objectives: This study was designed to determine normal values of pedobarography during standing and walking in adolescents in our country and to investigate correlations between demographic data and pedobarographic values.
Methods: Fifty volunteers (25 girls, 25 boys; mean age 14 years; range 13 to 15 years) who were found to have healthy foot according to the AOFAS (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society) clinical rating system for the ankle and foot were enrolled into the study. Plantar pressures were measured during standing and walking tasks with the use of the Mini-Emed pedobarographic device.
Results: Static measurements showed significantly higher pedobarographic values for right medial forefoot and toes in girls, and for left midfoot in boys (p
