Abstract
Background and Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the distribution of foot plantar pressure between normal and diplegic children with cerebral palsy. Subjects and Methods:. Ten subject with diplegic cerebral palsy who were able to walk independently and ten norrnal subject who had lived Sesan city. We had examined foot pressure by Parotec system that estimate static and dynamic foot pressure as 24 sensor. We had use 24 sensor out of 10 sensor which had positioned heel area of foot. Results: The result of this study were as follow: (1) There were significant difference between right and left in symmetry of static foot pressure(p <0.05). (2) There were not significant difference between right and left in symmetry of dynamic foot pressure(p <0.05). (3) 10 out of , 3, 5, 7, 9 sensor had significant difference in left static foot pressure(p <0.05). (4) 10 out of 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10 sensor had significant difference in right static foot pressure(p <0.05). ( 5) 10 out of 3, 5, 7, 10 sensor had significant difference in left dynamic foot pressure(p < 0.05). 10 out of 1, 2, 5, 7 sensor had significant difference in right dynamic foot pressure(p <0.05) Conclusions: We could confirrn that difference between norrnal and diplegic children with cerebral palsy in static and dynamic foot pressure especially symmetry of left and right, sensor number.
