Pedobarography study among Malay population in Kuantan, Malaysia: A pilot study

Pedobarography has been widely used in developed countries for few decades. However, in Malaysia it is still in its infancy. Studies showed that the normal values of pedobarography vary between races. To the best our knowledge there is no standard value available for Malaysian or Southeast Asia. Thi...

A total of 400 feet of adult Malay subjects with no existing diabetes mellitus, lower limb and spine pain or problem are measured using Emed-q100 pedobarography device. 226 (56.5%) were females. 44.5% were with normal BMI followed by overweight (31.5%), and obese (24%).

Most (38.5%, n=154) of the peak pressure area (PPA) are observed in 1st metatarsal head and big toe region (1MH&T), followed by 2nd metatarsal head (2MH) (34.3%, n=137). In the normal BMI group, 48.3% were in 1MH&T region while in the overweight and obese groups, 42.1% and 43.8%, respectively were in 2MH. This difference is significant (x2(df=8)=36.963, p<0.001). There was no significant difference between PPA and gender. The MPP among Malays in this study was 509kPa(SD 167) and it is not affected by different genders or BMI.
