Summary

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.

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

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.
