Presiones plantares, en estática bipodal, en niños/adolescentes con síndrome de Down

Abstract

Objective. To determine the plantar pressures in standing and the hindfoot and knee alignment, in children/adolescents with Down syndrome (DS). Material and Methods. The sample comprised two groups of 32 children / adolescents, one with DS and other without pathology (CG). We analyzed in standing she support surface, average and peak plantar pressures and their distribution (by means of a Footchecker platform), hindfoot alignment in the frontal plane and knee alignment in the frontal and sagital planes.Comparison between both groups was carried out. Results. The DS group showed: higher plantar surface (p
