Abstract

Objective: To expand existing knowledge on gait parameters in a healthy population using a baropodometer and to ensure the reliability of the equipment.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with fifty healthy adults aged 24 to 65 years. Parameters were collected from both sides over at least five valid steps. The Wilcoxon test was performed, and the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) for static and dynamic measurements was obtained with 95% confidence and a p-value of 0.005.

Results: The platform's reliability exceeded 0.7 for all parameters, both in static and dynamic analysis. All parameters showed a difference of less than 10% compared to the mean estimate across the five tests performed.

Discussion: The platform's reliability showed moderate to high ICC values, indicating that, under similar hardware and software conditions, platforms from different manufacturers may produce comparable results. The ICC for PTI was lower than that of the other variables, possibly due to physiological differences in posture, which affect gait speed.

Conclusion: The HS Tecnology manufacturer's baropodometer is a reliable tool for gait analysis in barefoot healthy individuals. Level of Evidence III; Cross-Sectional Study.

一种新的足部测量平台在健康成人赤脚行走中的可靠性。

目的：扩展现有的关于健康人步态参数的知识，并确保该设备的可靠性。方法：对50名24 ~ 65岁的健康成人进行横断面研究。在至少五个有效步骤中从双方收集参数。进行Wilcoxon检验，获得静态和动态测量的类内相关系数（ICC），置信度为95%，p值为0.005。结果：平台静、动态分析各项参数的可靠性均超过0.7。与进行的五次测试的平均估计值相比，所有参数的差异均小于10%。讨论：平台的可靠性显示出中等到高的ICC值，这表明，在类似的硬件和软件条件下，来自不同制造商的平台可能会产生类似的结果。PTI的ICC低于其他变量，可能是由于姿势的生理差异影响了步态速度。结论：HS技术制造商的气压计是一个可靠的工具，步态分析赤脚健康人。证据等级III；横断面研究。
