足底软组织在步行过程中吸收冲击和衰减过度应力方面起着关键作用。足底软组织特性和足底压力是鞋履设计和临床评估的重要信息。本研究旨在探讨行走时足底软组织硬度与足底压力之间的关系。方法59例健康志愿者（男27例，女32例，年龄20 ~ 82岁）参加本研究。将足底表面分为后脚外侧、后脚内侧、中脚外侧、前脚外侧、前脚内侧5个区域，用Shore硬度计测定每个区域的足底组织硬度。对硬度试验对应的5个区域进行了各区域平均动压力分析。分析了各区域硬度与平均动压的关系。结果上述5个区足底软组织硬度的平均值分别为：后脚外侧（34.49±6.77）、后脚内侧（34.47±6.64）、中足外侧（27.95±6.13）、前足外侧（29.72±5.47）、前足内侧（28.58±4.41）。各组间硬度差异显著，前足区足底软组织硬度随年龄增长而升高（P < 0.05）。足底软组织硬度与后脚外侧、后脚内侧和后脚外侧减压呈负相关（P < 0.05）。结论健康人足底软组织硬度随年龄的增长而变化，且有随年龄增长而增加的趋势。足底软组织硬度随足底压力增大而增大。
Background The plantar soft tissue plays a critical role in absorbing shocks and attenuating excessive stresses during walking. Plantar soft tissue property and plantar pressure are critical information for footwear design and clinical assessment. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between plantar soft tissue hardness and plantar pressure during walking. Methods 59 healthy volunteers (27 males and 32 females, aged 20 to 82) participated in this study. The plantar surface was divided into five regions: lateral rearfoot, medial rearfoot, lateral midfoot, lateral forefoot, and medial forefoot, and the plantar tissue hardness was tested using Shore durometer in each region. Average dynamic pressures in each region were analyzed for the five regions corresponding to the hardness tests. The relationship between hardness and average dynamic pressure was analyzed in each region. Results The average hardness of the plantar soft tissue in the above five regions is as follows: lateral rearfoot (34.49 ± 6.77), medial rearfoot (34.47 ± 6.64), lateral midfoot (27.95 ± 6.13), lateral forefoot (29.72 ± 5.47), and medial forefoot (28.58 ± 4.41). Differences of hardness were observed between age groups, and hardness of plantar soft tissues in forefoot regions increased with age (P < 0.05). A negative relationship was found between plantar soft tissue hardness and pressure reduction at lateral rearfoot, medial rearfoot, and lateral midfoot (P < 0.05). Conclusion The hardness of plantar soft tissues changes with age in healthy individuals, and there is a trend of increasing hardness of the plantar soft tissue with age. The plantar soft tissue hardness increases with plantar pressure.
