Perfusion, Stance and Plantar Pressure Asymmetries on the Human Foot in the Absence of Disease—A Pilot Study

Physiological perfusion asymmetries in the lower limb are known, although poorly understood, as reported plantar pressure and stance. This preliminary study aims to explore potential relationships between variables humans. A convenience sample of eight healthy individuals (25.25 ± 5.37 years old) both sexes, was selected. Chosen were perfusion, pressure, Perfusion measured feet by laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) polarized light spectroscopy (PSp), stance obtained a plate. These baseline (Phase I) repeated squatting II), recovery III). 95% confidence interval adopted. Intraindividual significant detected LDF Phase I. disappeared II returned III. PSp did not detect any asymmetries. Plantar also asymmetric differently distributed along with no statistical significance except hindfoot. Significant correlations found BMI mean Pressure I III, an inverse correlation results seem suggest interesting direction for exploration these absence disease.
