Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effects of post-operation rehabilitation treatment of patients with calcaneus fracture by dynamic plantar pressure analysis,and assess the value of the Footscan system.Methods Sixty-two patients with unilateral calcaneus fracture were randomly divided into a rehabilitation group and a control group.The patients in the rehabilitation group were given early,systemic standard rehabilitation treatment,while those in the control group took functional exercise following the doctors'advice.At 3 months and 6 months after operation,the plantar pressure distribution of the patients in both groups was analyzed with the Footscan system,respectively.Results After 3 months of treatment.there was statistically significant difference between the injured and the uninjured sides in both groups,with regard to the contact time,average plantar pressure and pressure-time integrals at different phases of gait.However,there was no significant difference between the injured and the uninjured sides after 6 months in rehabilitation group.But in control group,there was still statistically significant difference between the two sides with regard to the above parameters.Conclusion Early rehabilitation treatment could significantly improve the function outcome of patients with calcaneus fracture.Footscan System can objectively evaluate the recovery of the calcaneous fracture.
