ABSTRACT

Introduction: This work aimed at studying the variation of the distention of plantar fat in sitting, bipodal and monopodal standing, and to relate these changes with the footprint and the posture of the foot.
Patients and methods: 14 healthy adults participated in the study. Their plantar footprint was scanned in bipodal standing, monopodal standing, and seated. In these footprints, the Clarke angle, Chippaux-Smirack index, Staheli index, forefoot width, itsmo width, and heel width, were measured. And these measures were compared between the three weightbearing conditions.
Results: For the Clarke angle, the Chippaux-Smirack index and the Staheli index, significant differences were observed in all measurements, except the comparison between sitting and bipodal standing in the Staheli index. The correlations in the bipodal-monopodal modality were all strong (r > 0.8). For the forefoot, isthmus and heel widths in all three positions, we obtained statistically significant differences in all measurements. Direct strong correlation between FPI and Clarke angle in monopodal weightbearing (r = 0.69) was obtained, and strong inverse correlation between FPI and Staheli angle in bipodal weightbearing.
Conclusions: The study results suggest that there were changes in the plantar footprint in the different weightbearing conditions as the load increased.



RESUMEN

Introducción: Este trabajo se planteó con el objetivo de estudiar la variación de la distensión de la grasa plantar en sedestación, carga bipodal y monopodal, y relacionar estos cambios con la huella plantar y la postura del pie.
Pacientes y métodos: Participaron en el estudio 14 adultos sanos a los que se les escaneó la huella plantar en carga bipodal, en carga monopodal y en sedestación. En estas huellas se midieron el ángulo de Clarke, índice de Chippaux-Smirack, índice de Staheli, anchura del antepié, anchura del itsmo y anchura del talón, y se compararon estas medidas entre las tres situaciones de carga.
Resultados: Para el ángulo de Clarke, el índice de Chippaux-Smirack y el índice de Staheli se observaron diferencias significativas en todas las mediciones, excepto la comparación entre sedestación y bipedestación bipodal en el índice de Staheli. Las correlaciones en la modalidad bipodal-monopodal fueron todas fuertes (r > 0.8). Para las anchuras del antepié, del istmo y del talón en las tres posiciones, obtuvimos diferencias estadísticamente significativas en todas las mediciones. Se obtuvo correlación fuerte directa entre FPI y ángulo de Clarke en carga monopodal (r = 0.69), y correlación fuerte inversa entre FPI y ángulo de Staheli en carga bipodal.
Conclusiones: Los resultados del estudio sugieren que existen cambios en la huella plantar en las diferentes posiciones. Se observan cambios en la misma, a medida que aumenta la carga.
