A Correlational Study of the Relationship between Plantar Pressure Index and Dynamic Balance

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the plantar pressure index and dynamic unbalance. Furthermore, to offer a fundamental treatment to patient who have poor dynamic balance considering the plantar pressure with applying balancing exercise. 45 candidates participated in this study. Plantar pressure index and dynamic unbalance were obtained by 3D foot scanner and Optojump system. All the data was collected and statistically analyzed. This study showed that the correlation coefficients between the index of the plantar pressure and the dynamic unbalance appeared positive values in the stance phase (r=0.60, p<0.05) and the swing phase(r=0.50, p<0.05). In conclusion, this study showed there is a positive relationship between the plantar pressure index and dynamic unbalance. According to the results of the research above, plantar pressure is a consideration in order to achieve a better prognosis of the patient who has dynamic unbalance. Further study is suggested with a larger sample size and wider age range.
