Longitudinal study of foot pressures during real-world walking as infants develop from new to confident walkers (2021)
Journal Article
Price, C., Montagnani, E., Martinez Santos, A., Nester, C., & Morrison, S. (2022). Longitudinal study of foot pressures during real-world walking as infants develop from new to confident walkers. Gait & Posture, 92, 351-358. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2021.12.003

Background: Onset of walking in infants leads to regular cyclic loading of the plantar foot surface for the first time. This is a critical period for evolving motor skills and foot structure and function. Plantar pressure literature typically studi...

Food insecurity (a lack of stable access to nutritious food) is reliably associated with obesity, although the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Past research indicates that this relationship may, in part, be explained by the distress of being food...
