The impact of increasing body mass on peak and mean plantar pressure in asymptomatic adult subjects during walking.

A statistically significant increase in peak pressure between the 15 kg and control (0 kg) group was evident in all other plantar regions ( p ≤0.05), with differences in the first metatarsal, lesser digits, and hallux region being assessed as highly significant ( p ≤0.01) ( Tables 3 and 4 , Fig. 3 ).
