本研究评估了独立行走第一年期间足部和步态的发育变化。采用纵向设计，每3个月用电容式足底压力测量仪测量42名正常儿童的足底压力分布。在几周的独立行走后，已经发现了第一个显著的变化。纵弓的发展与中足负荷参数显着降低，即使变化表现出很大的个体差异。这项研究表明，一旦孩子开始站立和行走，孩子的脚在形状和负载特性上会发生显着变化。有些孩子表现出相当成熟的外观足底压力模式后1年，而其他人保留了更不成熟的负荷模式。(C)2003 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
This study evaluated developmental changes of foot and gait during the first year of independent walking. In a longitudinal design, plantar pressure distribution patterns were measured with a capacitive platform every 3 months in a group of 42 normal children. The first significant changes were already found after a few weeks of independent walking. The development of the longitudinal arch correlated with significantly reduced midfoot loading parameters even though the changes showed a wide interindividual variation. This study illustrates that a child's foot goes through significant changes in shape and loading characteristics once the child starts to stand and walk. Some children showed a fairly mature appearance of the plantar pressure pattern after 1 year while others retained a more immature loading pattern. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
