Pre and post surgery evaluation of patients with hallux pathology using an insoles measurement system of plantar pressure distribution

In the context of orthopedic, the use of plantar pressure distribution can be important as a complementary method of evaluation and diagnosis, as in the follow-up of patients. The present study has its framework in the context of the distribution of plantar pressure in patients with hallux valgus pathology, with indication for surgical treatment. The work involves gait analysis in nine volunteers with surgery indication. The registered data was obtained in two moments: the day before surgery and ninety days after surgery. The analysis of the results shows that pedobarographic pressure analysis may play an important role in helping clinical decision-making, as well as follow-up in the postoperative phase, allowing the study and evaluation of the surgical proceedings and correlating the clinical evolution with the changes in pedobarography maps.
