Normal values of plantar pressure measurements determined using the EMED-SF system

Plantar pressure-measurement technology is being increasingly used by podia tric physicians and surgeons in both clinical practice and research. The au thors present normal reference-range values for peak pressure, mean pressur e, and pressure-time integral obtained from 30 healthy subjects using a two -step recording technique and the EMED-SF system, as background for propose d clinical trials. Normative data of this type are essential for clinical p ractice in the comparison of plantar pressure-measurement values of individ ual patients with those of normal, asymptomatic feet.
