Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study was to identify significant variables that contribute to the association between postural problems, plantar pressure distribution and levels of bodily pain in middle-aged and elderly adults. The researchers' hypothesis is that plantar pressure characteristics and postural asymmetries differ according to gender, are related to body composition and predict pain levels. The study described here is the only one to include variables that make it possible to identify body asymmetries in a postural analysis, based on the distribution of plantar pressure and body composition.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study employed an observational cross-sectional design. A convenience sample was recruited to analyse differences between men and women in anthropometrics, body composition, plantar pressure distribution, and pain levels. Without intervention, researchers observed and recorded data at a single time point, allowing comparisons between sexes and exploring correlations among the measured variables. This type of design allowed a snapshot view of the differences and associations present within the sample.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

I

The 'M' point is on the heels of both feet.

Effectiveness of physical exercise in preventing pain and improving plantar pressure distribution

Intervention Type OTHER

At the beginning of the study, the participants underwent a baropodometric and photometric analysis. At the same time, anthropometric data and self-assessed body pain data were collected. For 12 continuous weeks, the participants completed a training programme that included specific exercises designed for each group. At the end, the baropodometry images were analysed again, which led to the final conclusion of the study.

II

The 'M' point is located on the heel of the left foot and the forefoot of the right foot.
