Assessment of in-shoe pressure: Development of a clinical user guide based on a DELPHI-derived consensus
2022, FootCitation Excerpt :Although the research team agree with the need for a pressure reduction aim of 200 kPa, caution is advised when using an absolute value as the only factor for determining adequate plantar pressure relief. We therefore recommend that a relative pressure reduction of 30% also be considered, due to the established issues with absolute pressure measurement and the body of literature recommending the F-Scan be used primarily for relative pressure measurements [7,8,12,13,15,17]. Statement 15 (Table 1) failed to reach consensus (46% acceptance) but garnered significant feedback when users were asked to agree on the most appropriate first-line method of calibrating the F-Scan device for clinical purposes.

2016, Applied ErgonomicsCitation Excerpt :Measured force values with Pedar® insoles increased up to 17% during 3-h walking trials (Arndt, 2003), by 43.2% during a static loading experiment and by 19% during an 8-h repeated load application (Hurkmans et al., 2006). Up to 30% lower peak forces during walking trials were observed for F-Scan insoles (Nicolopoulos et al., 2000). El Kati observed a rapid decrease in sensitivity in running trials and a frequent need for calibration with the F-Scan insoles (El Kati et al., 2010).
Ground reaction forces and plantar pressure distribution during occasional loaded gait
2013, Applied ErgonomicsCitation Excerpt :The program automatically divided the plantar regions: all divisions were checked by two trained researchers and, if necessary (eventually), corrected manually. The in-shoe pressure system presents good information about relative distribution of plantar forces while their absolute values have been questioned (Nicolopoulos et al., 2000; Rosenbaum and Becker, 1997; Woodburn and Helliwell, 1996). The force plate is considered the most accurate dynamic measurements of force (Cobb and Claremont, 1995): thus, the force plate was used to calibrate (post-test) the plantar pressure data test by test.
