OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyse the plantar pressure distribution in nine hemiplegic spastic @entity1 to illustrate the dynamic alteration during stance phase linked @entity508 grade. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The graduation of the lower limbs muscle tone related to the Aschworth @entity508 scale enabled us to identify two groups of hemiplegics subjects. The groups Asch 1 and Asch 3 have respectively presented a low and a strong @entity508 . The peak pressures during consecutive gait cycles were determined under the feet of 30 healthy subjects and two @entity306 groups using a wearable footprint analysis system. RESULTS: A statistical study showed a similarity between the two disabled groups. Peak pressures under the midfoot were significantly higher compared to the control group. While the plantar pressure distribution profile was specific for each group under all other anatomical structures. The significant alterations were observed under the forefoot and hallux. DISCUSSION-CONCLUSION: Spasticity modifies the foot contact to ground and leads to a specific plantar pressure distribution profile linked to the @entity508 grade. The equinovarus with clawed @entity85 due to higher @entity508 seems to be an important factor in terminal stance phase perturbations. However @entity508 subjects seem to adopt a gait pattern in agreement with stability optimization criteria.
