The static pedobarographic evaluation revealed significantly higher values in terms of forefoot peak pressure, total plantar force and total contact area in subject without RUGARN plantar, compared to subjects with RUGARN plantar. This is the first study that investigated the pedobarographic changes in subjects with the RUGARN plantar. The static pedobarographic findings we .. View More»
