Background: The aim of this study was to identify whether there are differences between plantar pressure distributions experienced whilst wearing ice skates during ice-gliding, compared to standing whilst barefoot, wearing trainers and wearing ice skates. The results of this study aim to provide a greater understanding of the distribution of the pressure through the ice skate to the human musculoskeletal system. Material/Methods: Nine female participants were recruited for this study (age 36.6 years ± 15.3, mass 63.7kg ± 7.4 height 1.63m ± 4.1). Pressure applied to the plantar surface of the feet was recorded at 50Hz using an F-Scan sensor. Data was collected for 5 seconds while participants performed an ice glide in their own ice skates. Standing data was collected over the same period of time while participants stood still on a carpeted surface wearing their own ice skates, their own trainers and cotton socks without shoes. For each condition 10 trials of data were collected. Results: The results reported similar peak pressure distributions under the plantar region of the foot for standing and ice gliding while wearing ice skates. Furthermore, the results identified a shift of peak pressure values to the forefoot and midfoot regions whilst wearing ice skates compared to trainers. Conclusions: This research suggests information on plantar pressures during ice gliding may be obtained from standing data in future research and that ice skates may expose the wearer to an increased risk of plantar pressure related injuries in the forefoot/midfoot regions of the feet.

Twenty-six healthy men and women participated in this study in which 14 were long distance runners and remaining were control subjects. Following the initial assessment of foot pressure distribution, the runners were asked to complete the regular training program. Immediately after the run, foot pressure distribution was again assessed using the Zebris FDM-Treadmill. The parameters were analysed and compared with the pre-training data. The same parameters were also assessed for the control group at rest. Paired t-test was used to compare the foot pressure distribution before and after the run. Independent t-test was used to compare the same parameters between runners and control group. No significant changes were observed in runners post run whereas the control group showed significant changes in the foot pressure distribution of right forefoot and backfoot when compared to long distance runners at rest. The findings of the study suggest that the foot pressure distribution is not affected acutely after the long distance running. The future studies could analyse the plantar pressure measurement throughout the training programs to detect the time and nature of the deviations linked to long distance run, which would help in injury prevention.
