ResumoSelected dynamic plantar pressure measurements of 30 control, 30 hallux valgus and 30 hallux limitus subjects, using an EMED-SF system and a two-step method of data collection, were analysed for significant differences, with a one-way analysis of variance being performed with P<0.05. In comparison to normal control subjects, those with hallux valgus feet demonstrated significant medial plantar peak and mean pressures under the first, second and third metatarsal heads. In contrast, hallux limitus feet showed significantly high mean pressure under the hallux, lesser toes, third and fourth metatarsal heads, indicating a more lateral forefoot load.
