3.1.1. Percentage of Plantar Pressure Difference (PPD)

Table 4 shows the percentage of plantar pressure difference in each subject group. The right hemiparesis had PPD of 13.43% in the toe area, 12.74% in the forefoot area, 12.19% in the midfoot area, and 26.73% in the heel area. The left hemiparesis had 28.27%, 21.38%, 15.25% and 18.86%, respectively. The bilateral hemiparesis had 9.91%, 14.10%, 9.17%, 9.52% and healthy adults had 5.26%, 4.15%, 4.59%

and 6.06%, respectively. Figure 10 shows the percentage of plantar pressure difference results of each subject group.
