Abstract:
Objective To investigate plantar pressure distributions in patients with posttraumatic foot-drop deformity with Ilizarov treatment,so as to provide biomechanical data of such patients for surgery and rehabilitation.Methods Thirty adult patients with posttraumatic foot-drop deformity who underwent Ilizarov treatment were designated as the experimental group,while another 30 healthy individuals with the same age were selected as the control group.Changes in the distribution of plantar pressure at walking stance were evaluated by comparing the peak pressure (PP),the contact area (CA),the pressure-time integral(PTI) in both groups.Results Compared with those of the control group,the affected feet in the experimental group displayed lower PP,CA and PTI in the toe area,while on the other hand higher PP,CA and PTI were shown in the 5the metatarsal and lateral heel zone.Conclusion Plantar pressure distribution was still abnormal after Ilizarov treatment in the patients with posttraumatic foot-drop deformity.In lateral forefoot there was still overload risk in such patients.For this reason,a long-term rehabilitation treatment was required for full recovery of normal plantar pressure distribution.
