An experiment was performed to study the load bearing function of a patellar tendon bearing (PTB) cast and the optimal effect of walking heel position and contra-lateral heel height. Miniature load cells were placed on the patellar tendon area, front and back area of the lower leg, anterior sole (MP joint of big toe), and posterior sole of the foot. The examinee walked on a force plate with the PTB cast. Vertical load bearing at each area in the PTB cast was evaluated by multiple regression analysis of data from the force plate and the load cells. The extent of decrease of skeletal loading was thirty per cent of body weight when the walking heel was placed slightly distal to the navicular bone. The effect of the contralateral heel height was not clear.
进行了一项实验，以研究髌腱承重（PTB）石膏的承重功能以及行走时足跟位置和对侧足跟高度的最佳效果。微型测力传感器被放置在髌腱区域、小腿前后区域、前脚掌（大脚趾的跖趾关节）和后脚掌。受试者穿着PTB石膏在测力板上行走。通过对测力板和测力传感器数据的多元回归分析，评估PTB石膏各区域的垂直承重情况。当行走时足跟位于舟骨稍远侧时，骨骼负荷的降低程度为体重的30%。对侧足跟高度的影响尚不清楚。
