Linking Skeletons, Loading & Fractures…

Did you know that your skeleton adapts to changes in mechanical loading, altering its mass and structure to modify bone strength?

Also, bone mineral density is positively related to body mass index (BMI), and alterations in body weight are accompanied by changes in bone mass that reflect the new loading environment.

Low BMI is a well recognised risk factor for fracture, but obesity also increases…

Footscan Platform System: Identifying Normal Foot Loading Parameters & Repeatability

Research Paper Title

Normal foot loading parameters and repeatability of the Footscan® platform system.

Background

The Footscan® platform system is one of the most commonly used clinical tools for the measurement of the foot pressure. The present study was designed to assess the repeatability of the system and identify the range of loading parameters observed in the normal foot.
