Figure 1 Plantar load distribution across 6 subregionsStatic plantar load distribution (PLD) patterns across 6 subregions for the left (A) and right (B) feet in the groups. The 6 anatomically distinct subregion abbreviations are as follows: L.M, lateral metatarsal; L.LA, lateral longitudinal arch; L.H, lateral heel; M.M, medial metatarsal; M.LA, medial longitudinal arch; M.H, medial heel. Statistical significance between groups is indicated by * P<0.05 and ** P<0.01. (Statistical analyses and histograms were created specifically for this study and produced using the SigmaPlot V.14 software developed by Grafiti LLC, USA).
