Softening of the heel impact is a positive outcome because a proper positioning of the heel at the initial ground/foot contact influences the positioning of the next foot segments during the midstance and propulsion phases [ 8, 10] and ensures an adequate foot rollover process.
This loading pattern is a result of alterations in the foot rollover process during walking [ 7- 9], following an overall worsening of foot-ankle muscular, articular and nervous function.
The main hypothesis of the study was that a physiotherapeutic intervention would improve the foot rollover process and successfully redistribute dynamic plantar loading.
Although the foot rollover process during gait may be represented by a combination of plantar loading variables, we chose peak pressure (PP) over plantar surface as primary outcome.
The human injury mechanism is used to evaluate the impact on human injury through the LSC of the ROPS during the dynamic rollover process.
The rollover process is fairly simple -- and keeping your accounts consolidated makes managing them that much easier.
AIM: To investigate the effects of strengthening, stretching, and functional training on foot rollover process during gait.
However, the description of foot rollover process was also accomplished using other related biomechanical (kinetic and kinematic parameters) and clinical variables hereby referred as secondary outcomes.
The present study describes the outcomes of a randomized, controlled trial to describe the effects of active stretching, strengthening, balance, and walking exercises [ 28] on the foot rollover process of DPN patients with no previous episode of plantar ulceration.
Biomechanical alterations in the foot rollover process during gait and its relationship with plantar ulcerations have been discussed in the literature, especially using plantar pressure distribution as an important predictor parameter [ 11, 16, 17] mainly under the forefoot [ 18- 20].
