3.1.2. Plantar Pressure Comparison Analysis

The average plantar pressure on the left foot (unaffected) of the right hemiparetic patients was 6.11 ± 0.08 pF (capacitance difference value) in the lateral side of the foot and 6.50 ± 0.27 pF in the medial side. The right foot (affected) showed 5.17 ± 0.46 pF and 5.45 ± 0.29 pF, respectively (Table 5).

Table 6 shows the average plantar pressure of left hemiparetic patients. The lateral side of the left foot (affected) showed 5.11 ± 0.18 pF of pressure and the medial side had 5.01 ± 0.16 pF. The unaffected right foot had 6.14 ± 0.18 pF on the lateral side and 6.14 ± 0.11 pF on the medial side.

In Table 7, the average plantar pressure on the lateral side of the left foot was 5.62 ± 0.33 pF and of the medial side was 5.36 ± 0.38 pF in bilateral hemiparetic patients. The medial side of the right foot showed 5.42 ± 0.57 pF and the lateral side 5.66 ± 0.33 pF.

Table 8 shows the average plantar pressure of healthy adults. The lateral side of the left foot had 6.39 ± 0.43 pF, the medial side had 6.24 ± 0.38 pF, the lateral side of the right foot had 6.41 ± 0.42 pF, and the medial side had 6.39 ± 0.29 pF.
