ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of gait protocols and postoperative shoes on forefoot load in preoperative patients for forefoot disorders and compare footwear comfort between different types of postoperative shoes.MethodsFourteen subjects scheduled to undergo forefoot surgeries were recruited. The maximum force under the forefoot region was measured during 10 m straight walking in two gait patterns with six different shoe types. Visual analogue scale (VAS) scores for footwear comfort, subjective lower thigh pain, and electrical activities of lower thigh muscles were also evaluated.ResultsThe body weight-normalized maximum force under the forefoot region significantly decreased in step-to gait compared to normal gait regardless of the shoe types used. Under the same gait condition, no significant difference was observed in the forefoot off-loading effect between the different shoe types used. Significantly worse VAS scores, significantly higher tibialis anterior muscle activities, and complaints of lower thigh pain were demonstrated in the gait with the reverse camber shoe.ConclusionsGait protocol of step-to gait had more forefoot off-loading effect than postoperative shoes. The forefoot off-loading effect did not differ among the postoperative shoes, suggesting that postoperative shoes can be selected with an emphasis on footwear comfort.
