Summary
The safe and economically undemanding walk requires a correct function of the foot. The evaluation of the foot condition and determination of the relations among selected mechanic parameters of the foot should be therefore performed already from the preschool age. The basic biomechanics methods, which serve in the analysis of the foot load include the use of pressure plates. In evaluating the position and load of the foot in walking we must consider relations among individual segments of the foot and their relation to other segments of lower extremity. The study encompassed 44 children (mean age 5.15 ± 1.45 year) evaluated for the position of the posterior hindfoot against shank and the position of forefoot to hindfoot in resting position and during walk.
For measurement of the foot load in contact with the pad, the authors used a 2m pressure plate footscan. In the observed group of children, the static heel valgosity prevailed, followed by neutral position of the hindfoot in combination with the varous forefoot. The deviation of the foot axis medially in relation to the direction of motion proved to be more frequent in children with static heel valgosity.
