Effect of Shoe Lacing Techniques on Plantar Pressure during Walking A Cross-Sectional Study
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare the effects of crisscross lacing (CCL) and loop lacing (LL) on the medial/lateral ratio of plantar pressure during walking.METHODS: Twelve subjects participated in this study.They wore wearable foot pressure devices to walk along a 20 m-long corridor.The medial/lateral mean and peak plantar pressure for three plantar areas: forefoot, midfoot, and hindfoot were collected during walking under two conditions, namely, the CCL and LL techniques.The medial/lateral mean and peak plantar pressure ratios were calculated for the three plantar areas.A paired t-test was used to compare the medial/lateral ratio of mean and peak plantar pressure between the CCL and LL techniques.
