Pvalues 14 <0.01 <0.01 <0.01

Data is represented as mean (SD) unless otherwise indicated.

% change = % increase or decrease from level walking

P values are from the repeated measures ANOVA results (calculated from complete data on 14 subjects) for the peak plantar pressures during different exercises in each anatomical region.

PPP = Peak Plantar Pressure

*

indicates difference from level walking in each anatomical region based on post hoc t-tests from ANOVA results (P<0.05)

#

indicates difference from level walking in each anatomical region based on post hoc t-tests from ANOVA results (P <0.01)
