This study was aimed to analyze the foot posture index and plantar pressure characteristics of fifteen badminton players and fifteen controls. The hypothesis was that people with the habit of playing badminton would be significantly different with nonplaying people in foot posture index, 3D foot surface data, and plantar pressure distribution. Nine regions of plantar pressure were measured by using the EMED force platform, and badminton players showed significantly higher peak pressure in the hallux ( = 0.003), medial heel ( = 0.016), and lateral heel ( = 0.021) and force-time integral in the hallux ( = 0.002), medial heel ( = 0.026), and lateral heel ( = 0.015). There is no asymmetrical plantar pressure distribution between the left foot and the right foot of players. The mean foot posture index values of male and female badminton players are 5.2 ± 1.95 and 5.7 ± 1.15, respectively, and comparatively, those values of male and female controls are 1.5 ± 1.73 and 1.7 ± 4.16, respectively. This study shows that significant differences in morphology between people with the habit of playing badminton and people without that habit could be taken as a factor for a future study in locomotion biomechanics characteristics and foot shape of badminton players and in a footwear design in order to reduce injury risks.
本研究旨在分析15名羽毛球运动员和15名对照组人员的足姿势指数和足底压力特征。研究假设为，有打羽毛球习惯的人与不打羽毛球的人在足姿势指数、三维足部表面数据和足底压力分布方面存在显著差异。使用EMED测力平台测量了九个足底压力区域，羽毛球运动员在拇趾（P = 0.003）、内侧足跟（P = 0.016）和外侧足跟（P = 0.021）处的峰值压力以及在拇趾（P = 0.002）、内侧足跟（P = 0.026）和外侧足跟（P = 0.015）处的力-时间积分均显著更高。运动员左右脚之间不存在不对称的足底压力分布。男性和女性羽毛球运动员的平均足姿势指数值分别为5.2±1.95和5.7±1.15，相比之下，男性和女性对照组的该值分别为1.5±1.73和1.7±4.16。本研究表明，有打羽毛球习惯的人和没有该习惯的人在形态上的显著差异可作为未来研究羽毛球运动员运动生物力学特征和足部形状以及鞋类设计以降低受伤风险的一个因素。
