简要总结
The aim of this study was to identify significant variables that contribute to the association between postural problems, plantar pressure distribution and levels of bodily pain in middle-aged and elderly adults. The researchers' hypothesis is that plantar pressure characteristics and postural asymmetries differ according to gender, are related to body composition and predict pain levels. The study described here is the only one to include variables that make it possible to identify body asymmetries in a postural analysis, based on the distribution of plantar pressure and body composition.
详细描述
The study employed an observational cross-sectional design. A convenience sample was recruited to analyse differences between men and women in anthropometrics, body composition, plantar pressure distribution, and pain levels. Without intervention, researchers observed and recorded data at a single time point, allowing comparisons between sexes and exploring correlations among the measured variables. This type of design allowed a snapshot view of the differences and associations present within the sample.
