Abstract | Foot pressure technology has been utilized to study the influence of over-weight and obesity on the ankle joint which because of gaining weight lead to change gait characteristics, particularly foot ailments, and has been used in academic teaching in the Medical and Allied Health fields for over 30 years. However, earlier sensors often required an indoor setup as they were not portable. Advanced technology provides the means to take the system outdoors, thus the having the ability to determine the impact of walking-paths terrain on foot pressure and on the ankle joint. Over-weight and obesity cause a number of adverse walking issues for the ankle as extra weight is loaded onto this vital joint component. In addition, footpath terrain may be uneven and thus plays a role in the characteristics of gait and subsequently has an impact on the ankle. In this research, simulated obesity was introduced to study foot pressure and the impact on the ankle of outdoor walking. One aspect was the potential for foot injury, particularly foot ankle rotation. This technology allows researchers and academics to demonstrate the impact of overweight and obesity in outdoor walking. |
