Variations in centre of pressure and balance performance induced by footwear drop in healthy adults.
Background: Posturography is a diagnostic technique that quantifies postural control through Centre of Pressure (CoP) displacement analysis on a force platform. Footwear characteristics, particularly heel-to-toe drop, may influence balance by modifying plantar pressure distribution and proprioceptive feedback. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of different footwear drops (0 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm) on postural control in healthy young adults, considering sex, BMI, and shoe size.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 117 participants (56 men, 61 women) using the Dinascan/IBV® platform and the Romberg test. CoP displacement and velocity were analyzed.
Results: Significant differences were observed in CoP total displacement (p < 0.001), mean velocity (p < 0.001), and medio-lateral dispersion (p = 0.024) when comparing 0 mm to 5 mm and 10 mm drops. Sex differences were significant at 0 mm drop for maximum medio-lateral force (p < 0.001) and mean velocity (p = 0.042), with men exhibiting greater values. At 5 mm drop, men showed significantly higher swept area (p = 0.029) and anteroposterior displacement (p = 0.007) than women.
Conclusions: Small variations in footwear drop can affect postural control, particularly in the medio-lateral plane. Sex and BMI significantly influence CoP behavior, suggesting the need to consider these factors in footwear design and clinical balance assessments.
期刊介绍:
International Orthopaedics, the Official Journal of the Société Internationale de Chirurgie Orthopédique et de Traumatologie (SICOT) , publishes original papers from all over the world. The articles deal with clinical orthopaedic surgery or basic research directly connected with orthopaedic surgery. International Orthopaedics will also link all the members of SICOT by means of an insert that will be concerned with SICOT matters.
Finally, it is expected that news and information regarding all aspects of orthopaedic surgery, including meetings, panels, instructional courses, etc. will be brought to the attention of the readers.
Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been approved by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
Reports of animal experiments must state that the "Principles of laboratory animal care" (NIH publication No. 85-23, revised 1985) were followed, as well as specific national laws (e.g. the current version of the German Law on the Protection of Animals) where applicable.
The editors reserve the right to reject manuscripts that do not comply with the above-mentioned requirements. The author will be held responsible for false statements or for failure to fulfil the above-mentioned requirements.
