An interventional study of plantar pressure in Plantar Pressure Distrubution, sponsored by Medipol University. Completed at 2 sites in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to participants aged 20 Years to 55 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-07-24.
Sponsored by Medipol University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Screening
The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of loads carried with the dominant and non-dominant hand on dynamic plantar pressure parameters in healthy individuals.Participants were required to be between the ages of 20 and 55 years, and to be free from systemic, neurological, orthopaedic or chronic diseases. Individuals with physical or mental disabilities, balance problems, a risk of falling, knee or wrist-hand joint instability, or who were pregnant, were excluded from the study.
H1:Carrying load on the dominant hand increases dynamic plantar pressure parameter values.
H0: Carrying load in the dominant hand does not change the dynamic plantar pressure parameter values.
Background: Individuals carry loads with their right or left hand due to their daily life activities. The load carried causes biomechanical differences on the body.
Research Question: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of loads carried with the dominant and non-dominant hand on dynamic plantar pressure parameters in healthy individuals.
Method: 20 healthy participants aged 20-55 years participated in the study voluntarily. The participants were asked to walk at least six laps at normal walking speed while carrying a load weighing 4 kg with their right and then their left hands. The Sensor Medica pedobarography device was used to evaluate dynamic plantar pressure.
Medipol University is the lead sponsor of 311 studies on the registry; 86 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
Participants are evaluated only once.
Device: plantar pressure
Healthy individuals carry loads with their dominant and non-dominant hands.
Also known as: gait analysis
Plantar Pressure
Plantar pressure will be measured with a baropodometer. The maximum pressure occurring at the time of measurement during load bearing shall be evaluated.
Time frame: Baseline
