Pressure Plate Analysis at Mid-stance

Primus Metatarsus Supinatus Foot:  (1) 0 N/cm2 under the 1st metatarsal head and almost no pressure under the hallux (due to the structurally inverted and elevated 1st metatarsal and hallux), (2) transfer of body’s weight (red line) lateral

Normal plantargrade foot:  (1) plantar pressure is spread fairly evenly across metatarsal heads I-IV (10 N/cm2), the hallux is weight bearing (1-6 N/cm2), (2) transfer of body’s weight (red line) more central
