Figure 2.

Examples of plantar pressure recordings of different foot-contact patterns (A, initial heel contact, B, midfoot contact, and C, forefoot contact) in three neonates. For each panel from top to bottom: illustration of the stance phase of the right leg in a neonate, corresponding mean pressure values and mean duration of loading of the individual sensors over five intervals of the stance phase (0–20%, 20–40%, 40–60%, 60–80%, and 80–100%) and over the whole stance (0–100%). The trajectories of the center of pressure are also shown for each footprint. Contours around color footprints correspond to the area of all sensors loaded during the whole stance.
