Effect of rocker soles on plantar pressures1

Fig 1 A diagram of the double, negative heel, and toe-only rocker soles. The double rocker is designed to have a double midstance, and because the midfoot does not touch the floor during foot contact, the ground reaction forces and plantar pressure would be theoretically reduced. The negative heel rocker shifts weight bearing posteriorly by placing the foot in more dorsiflexion, placing the heel below or at the same level as the metatarsal heads. The toe-only rocker is designed to lengthen midstance at the hindfoot and midfoot during walking, while increasing toe spring in late stance.
