穿MBT鞋正常步速行走时足弓压力特征分析

为了解MBT鞋对足弓部位的功效, 用Novel Pedar-X鞋垫式足底压力测试系统对穿MBT鞋正常行走时足弓进行测量, 以峰值压力、峰值压强、接触面积来反映MBT对足弓的压力特征. 在正常速度步行时, 穿着MBT鞋、运动鞋、帆布鞋足弓内侧与足弓外侧区域峰值压力、峰值压强、接触面积依次减少, 且MBT鞋与运动鞋、帆布鞋在足弓内侧峰值压力存在非常显著的差异性, 足弓外侧只有MBT鞋与运动鞋有差异. MBT鞋与运动鞋、帆布鞋在足弓内侧的峰值压强都有差异; 足弓内侧与足弓外侧的接触面积是MBT与帆布鞋有差异. 结果显示, 穿MBT鞋步行时能对足弓起到支撑作用, 减少足底肌肉损伤, 防止筋膜炎的产生.

Characteristics of arch pressure of normal walking in MBT shoes

The purpose of this study is to understand the effect of MBT shoes on foot arches during normal walking. The plantar pressure data are collected with Novel Pedar-X insole measurement system while walking in MBT shoes, sneakers and flat shoes. During the walking period, the peak force, peak pressure and contact area are used to determine the pressure features of the inner and outer areas of foot arches. In comparison, the inner and outer areas of foot arches are noted for decreasing trend of Peak Force, Peak Pressure and Contact Area from wearing MBT, sneakers and flat shoes. There exists a noticeable difference in the Peak Force of the inner arches among MBT shoes, sneakers and flat shoes, and so does the Peak Pressure. The Peak Force of the outer arches shows, on the other hand, significant difference between MBT and sneakers. The statistics-based test indicates that wearing MBT shoes and flat shoes make a distinctive difference in contacting area of the inner and outer side of foot arch. The foot muscle is the most essential component which maintains and strengthens the foot arches. MBT shoes are found to be able to better support the arch, reducing plantar muscle injury and prevent fascistic, and can effectively protect the muscle from collapsing.
