Summary

Gait asymmetry significantly impacts plantar load distribution, particularly in the load transfer phase. This study establishes normative plantar pressure data for children, aiding in the clinical assessment of pathological gaits like clubfoot and flatfoot.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Pediatric Gait Analysis
  • Plantometrics

Background:

  • Gait symmetry is often assumed, but asymmetries are linked to pathological conditions.
  • Existing symmetry measures lack insight into gait variable changes.
  • A normative database is crucial for understanding gait asymmetry effects.

Observation:

  • Plantar load and 3D kinematic data were collected from 17 typically developed children.
  • Two pediatric cases with clubfoot and flatfoot deformity were analyzed.
  • Data integration techniques were used to analyze plantar pressure in five foot regions.

Findings:

  • Significant differences in load transfer were observed between pathological cases and typical gait.
  • Case 1 (clubfoot) showed lateral forefoot bias and increased lateral hindfoot pressure.
  • Case 2 (flatfoot) exhibited medial hindfoot bias in force and pressure.

Implications:

  • The load transfer phase of gait is clinically significant.
  • Normative plantar load data aids in identifying and quantifying gait deviations.
  • Findings support targeted intervention planning for pediatric gait pathologies.
