Clinical Applications of Plantar Pressure Measurement
arxiv(2024)
摘要
Plantar pressure measurements can provide valuable insight into various
health characteristics in patients. In this study, we describe different
plantar pressure devices available on the market and their clinical relevance.
Current devices are either platform-based or wearable and consist of a variety
of sensor technologies: resistive, capacitive, piezoelectric, and optical. The
measurements collected from any of these sensors can be utilized for a range of
clinical applications including patients with diabetes, trauma, deformity and
cerebral palsy, stroke, cervical myelopathy, ankle instability, sports
injuries, and Parkinsons disease. However, the proper technology should be
selected based on the clinical need and the type of tests being performed on
the device. In this review we provide the reader with a simple overview of the
existing technologies their advantages and disadvantages and provide
application examples for each. Moreover, we suggest new areas in orthopaedic
that plantar pressure mapping technology can be utilized for increased quality
of care.
