Title: BAREFOOT AND SHOD CONDITIONS: HOW TO RECONCILE THEM FOR PLANTAR PRESSURE ANALYSIS IN THE OXFORD FOOT MODEL

However, they require different settings: One requires barefoot experimentation and the other requires the subject to be shod. The method proposed in this paper attempts to solve this problem by designing shoes that can mimic both conditions. This allows the analysis of both approaches simultaneously and therefore provides valuable inputs for the development of a well validated model of the foot.Read More
