Cross-sectional study investigates foot pressure distribution in relation to physical activity in asymptomatic adults, highlighting unique adaptations.
Key Points
To explore the relationship between physical activity levels and foot pressure distribution in asymptomatic adults.
Prospective cross-sectional study with 200 participants aged 18–60 years.
Categorized participants into low, moderate, and high physical activity groups based on IPAQ scores.
Measured plantar pressure distribution using BTS P-WALK during standing and walking.
High activity group showed significantly higher peak pressures under the toes, particularly on the right foot.
Low activity group had higher pressure in the midfoot region.
Moderate activity group exhibited the highest pressure over forefoot and hindfoot, while high activity individuals displayed lower dynamic plantar pressures.
