Introduction

The pressures exerted on the forefoot in a condition like hallux valgus have been the subject of much debate, with dissimilar results. This article aims to compare the pressures borne by the forefoot in a group of normal feet with those it bears in a group of feet with mild or moderate hallux valgus.

Materials and methods

A study was performed of 60 subjects (30 with hallux valgus and 30 with normal feet), who were analyzed with the Biofoot/IBV instrumented insole system. The system uses a series of thin insoles (0.7 mmthick) with 64 piezoelectric sensors. Maximum pressure was analyzed in seven regions, i.e. the five metatarsal heads, the hallux and the lesser rays.

Results

Maximum pressure peaks in the control group were measured significantly in the second and third metatarsal heads (p=0.001). The hallux valgus group had its pressure peaks at the first metatarsal head and at the hallux (p=0.001). The presence of pressure peaks at the first ray points to pronation as the factor leading to hallux valgus.

Conclusions

Instrumented insole systems are an excellent tool to analyze normal and pathological pressures. More detailed studies are necessary to come to more definite conclusions. In future, different research ways could be followed such as the study of pressures at pre-established values of cadence and speed of gait and with different kinds of footwear.

Introducción

Las presiones que soporta el antepié en una patología como el hallux valgus ha sido un tema discutido, con resultados dispares. Este artículo pretende comparar las presiones soportadas por el antepié en un grupo de pies normales y en un grupo de pies con hallux valgus leves o moderados.

Material y métodos

Se realiza un estudio en 60 sujetos (30 con hallux valgus y 30 con pies sanos), que son analizados con el sistema Biofoot/IBV de plantillas instrumentadas. El sistema emplea unas finas plantillas (0,7 mm de grosor) con 64 sensores piezoeléctricos. Se analiza la presión máxima en siete regiones, las cinco cabezas metatarsales, el hallux y los dedos menores.

Resultados

Los picos máximos de presión en el grupo control se localizaron significativamente en segunda y tercera cabeza metatarsal (p=0,001). El grupo de pies con hallux valgus registraron picos en la primera cabeza y en el hallux (p=0,001). La localización de los picos de presión en el primer radio sugiere la pronación como factor desencadenante del hallux valgus.

Conclusiones

Los sistemas de plantillas instrumentadas son excelentes para analizar las presiones normales y patológicas. Son necesarios estudios más amplios para llegar a conclusiones más precisas. Se abren diferentes vías de investigación, como el estudio de las presiones a cadencias y velocidades determinadas y con diferentes calzados.
