Foot pressures during level walking are strongly associated with pressures during other ambulatory activities in subjects with diabetic neuropathy 1 Katrina S Maluf, PT, PhD, Robert E Morley, DSc, Edward J Richter, MSEE, Joseph W Klaesner, PhD, Michael J Mueller, PT, PhD Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Volume 85, Issue 2, Pages 253-260 (February 2004) DOI: 10.1016/j.apmr.2003.06.004
Fig 1 Correlations between (A) peak pressures during level walking and ramp climbing, (B) level walking and stair climbing, and (C) level walking and turning at the heel, great toe (GT), MT1, and MT3. Similar correlations were observed for PTIs measured during level walking and other types of ambulatory activity (data not shown).

Fig 2 Peak pressures at (A) the heel, (B) great toe, (C) MT1, and (D) MT3 during level walking compared with descending a ramp, ascending a ramp, descending stairs, ascending stairs, and turning with the foot positioned on the outside and inside of the turn. ∗Significantly different from level walking (P<.008).
