The purpose of this study was to identify the reproducibility of the Footwork Pro plate in the measurement of static and dynamic plantar pressure in healthy adults.
We performed a reliability study using a test-retest design. The sample consisted of 49 healthy adults of both sexes, aged 18 to 64. Participants were assessed on the following 2 different occasions: the initial moment and 7 days later. Measurements for the static and dynamic plantar pressure were performed. We used the Student test for paired data, the concordance correlation coefficient, and bias to estimate reliability.
Plantar pressure values for the static condition (peak plantar pressure, plantar surface contact area, and body mass distribution) and dynamic condition (peak plantar pressure, plantar surface contact area, and contact time) between the first and second measurements did not present statistically significant differences. The concordance correlation coefficients were ≤0.90, and the biases were of low magnitude.
The findings showed that the Footwork Pro system offered clinically acceptable reproducibility to identify static and dynamic plantar pressure and thus may be a reliable tool for this purpose.
本研究旨在确定Footwork Pro平板在测量健康成年人静态和动态足底压力时的可重复性。
我们采用重测设计进行了一项可靠性研究。样本包括49名年龄在18至64岁之间的健康成年人，男女皆有。参与者在以下两种不同情况下接受评估：初始时刻和7天后。进行了静态和动态足底压力测量。我们使用配对数据的Student检验、一致性相关系数和偏差来评估可靠性。
第一次和第二次测量之间，静态条件（足底峰值压力、足底表面接触面积和体重分布）和动态条件（足底峰值压力、足底表面接触面积和接触时间）的足底压力值没有统计学上的显著差异。一致性相关系数≤0.90，偏差幅度较小。
研究结果表明，Footwork Pro系统在识别静态和动态足底压力方面具有临床可接受的可重复性，因此可能是用于此目的的可靠工具。
