Evaluating plantar pressures after foot and ankle surgeries

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the biomechanical functional outcomes of various surgical treatments for foot and ankle conditions by measuring plantar pressures. It aims to objectively assess recovery through advanced techniques such as gait analysis and the use of specialized equipment like baropodometric platforms. By focusing on plantar pressures, the study seeks to provide new insights into functional and biomechanical recovery post-surgery. This is the first time such evaluations will be documented in the literature.
