The center of pressure path in treated clubfeet.
The center of pressure paths of foot-floor contact were examined in detail in normal subjects and a group of 44 patients with treated clubfeet. The foot-floor contact areas were wide and the center of pressure paths more variable in clubfeet patients. The center of pressure paths did not always distinguish between normal and abnormal subjects nor between abnormal subjects with varying functional ratings. Foot prints are not sensitive enough to be a diagnostic aid and are of only limited application to the problem of evaluation of treatment of clubfoot deformity.
