Background: People with stroke often suffer abnormal foot posture including structural and movement deficiencies in the intrinsic foot segments on the affected side, which are associated with limitation in mobility. As part of a programme of research examining foot and ankle biomechanics after stroke, we investigated plantar pressure distribution under the affected foot of people with stroke and the relationship with functional mobility. Methods: Plantar pressure distribution was investigated while standing and walking on the affected side of twenty stroke and fifteen healthy sex and agematched participants, using a Medilogic platform system at a frequency of 20 HZ. Functional mobility in real life was measured using the Walking Handicap Scale. Results: While standing, people with stroke bore greater pressure on the affected side through the lateral heel and lesser toes (P |
