    This study established normal foot-ground pressure (FGP) patterns in young children. Findings show typical pressure distribution for diagnosing foot conditions in pediatric patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric biomechanics
    • Podiatry
    • Orthopedic research

    Background:

    • Understanding typical foot-ground pressure (FGP) distribution is crucial for pediatric foot health.
    • Previous research has not fully detailed normal FGP patterns in young children.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish normal foot-ground pressure (FGP) distribution patterns in male and female children aged 4 to 6 years.
    • To utilize computer analysis for detailed pressure mapping of the pediatric foot.

    Main Methods:

    • A modern measuring aid was employed to record foot-ground pressure (FGP) distribution.
    • Computer analysis was used to quantify pressure exerted by different foot regions.
    • Data was collected from healthy male and female children aged 4 to 6 years.

    Main Results:

    • Normal FGP patterns were established for children aged 4-6 years.
    • The posterior weight-bearing area (WBA) exerts the most pressure in a normal foot stance.
    • The middle WBA accounts for no more than 10% of total FGP, with the remainder in the anterior WBA.

    Conclusions:

    • Established normal FGP patterns serve as a vital diagnostic aid for pediatric foot conditions.
    • This data provides an accurate guide for conservative or surgical treatment decisions in young children's feet.
