Abstract
Assessment of standing plantar pressure is useful for answering
many questions regarding the association between plantar pressure distribution
and lower-extremity posture and its relationship with Body mass index in
children. Purpose: This study aimed to assess the possible effect of body mass
index and foot arch type on peak and average plantar pressure distribution in
children during standing. Design: This is a primary, observational, cross-
sectional study at primary and elementary schools in Talhka City, Dakahlia
district, Egypt. Subjects: Ninety children of both sexes (47 girls and 43 boys)
participated in this study group their age from 6 to 12 years without any with
recent Fractures or surgeries, open Wounds at the lower limb or any fixed
deformities in the lower limbs or any allergy for ink. The body mass index of
the study group revealed that 36 (40%) of children were of normal weight, 15
(16.7%) were overweight, 7 (7.8%) were obese, 32 (35.6%) of children were
underweight categorized according to CDC age for BMI growth charts for boys
and girls aged from 2 to 20 years and for foot arch type children with Normal
arch type 42 (46.7%)with flat arch foot 42 (46.7%)and with high arch foot 6
(6.7%) , Methods: after calculation of BMI for every child and define the type
of foot arch using Staheli arch index, plantar pressure distribution estimation
was done when each child stand bare-foot on the pressure plate (part from
podograph system). Statistical analysis: The level of significance for all
statistical tests was set at p < 0.05. All statistical tests were performed through
the statistical package for social studies (SPSS) version 22 for windows. (IBM
SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA). Results: This can conclude that There was a
significant difference in peak and average plantar pressure of the right and the
left foot between different body mass indexes in children during standing,
There was no significant difference in the average pressure of the left foot
between groups, There was no significant difference in peak pressure of the
right foot and the left foot between subjects with normal foot and subjects with
flatfoo
