<strong>Cadence</strong><br />

Shuffling (foot flat gait) should reduce foot<br />

pressures<br />

(Brand 1979)<br />

Shuffling reduces plantar foot pressures<br />

(Zhu, et al. 1991)<br />

Increases in cadence increase foot<br />

pressures<br />

(Zhu, et al. 1995)<br />

Activities of Daily Life<br />

Foot pressures during various activities vary<br />

and subject the foot to varying stresses.<br />

(Rozema Rozema, , et al. 1996)<br />

Activities of Daily Life<br />

Foot pressures measured during<br />

various weight bearing activities.<br />

All tasks except sitting were associated<br />

with significantly higher foot<br />

pressures.<br />

Running (42%) and turning (52%) were<br />

the highest<br />
