Foot pressure distribution during walking in young and old adults
BACKGROUND Measurement of foot pressure distribution (FPD) is clinically useful for evaluation of foot and gait pathologies. The effects of healthy aging on FPD during walking are not well known. This study evaluated FPD during normal walking in healthy young and elderly subjects. METHODS We studied 9 young (30 +/- 5.2 years), and 6 elderly subjects (68.7 +/- 4.8 years). FPD was measured duri...
متن کاملFoot pressure distributions during walking in African elephants (Loxodonta africana)
Elephants, the largest living land mammals, have evolved a specialized foot morphology to help reduce locomotor pressures while supporting their large body mass. Peak pressures that could cause tissue damage are mitigated passively by the anatomy of elephants' feet, yet this mechanism does not seem to work well for some captive animals. This study tests how foot pressures vary among African and...
متن کاملComparison of selected parameters of plantar pressure distribution during slope walking in adolescent girls
Background and Aims: Moving on inclined surfaces is a challenging task in daily life that creates challenges for the human movement system. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to compare selected parameters of plantar pressure distribution in healthy teenage girls and those with genu varum deformity while walking on a slope. Materials and Methods: The current research was semi-experime...
متن کاملEffects of hallux limitus on plantar foot pressure and foot kinematics during walking.
The effects of hallux limitus on plantar foot pressure and foot kinematics have received limited attention in the literature. Therefore, a study was conducted to assess the effects of limited first metatarsophalangeal joint mobility on plantar foot pressure. It was equally important to identify detection criteria based on plantar pressures and metatarsophalangeal joint kinematics, enabling diff...
متن کاملAdvances in Curved-Foot Dynamic Walking
Many researchers have successfully designed and built dynamic bipedal walkers with curved feet. The design process for these walkers, however, is typically based on intuition and/or poorly documented, suggesting the opportunity for improvements to be made through more systematic design. The most energy efficient bipeds have curved feet, as studies have shown that replacing point feet with curve...
