The Tekscan in shoe measurement system allows the user to establish discreet areas of investigation. The frames option allows for the foot to be divided into rear foot and fore foot sections that can then be displayed in the various graphical options. The force option graphical display shows the rise and decline of the rear foot force and the rise and decline of the fore foot force. There's a point on the graph where the graphs "cross over" each other and form a "cross over pyramid".

I've been extracting the raw ASCII data and plotting the incline of the fore foot force and the decline of the rear foot force up to the point where the y axis values are the same and form the apex of the "cross over pyramid". The software I'm using allows me to quantify the area under the cross over pyramid by using the Simpson equation so I can assign a crossover impulse value to the graph.
The questions I'd like to ask are ...
Any comments would be very much appreciated
- Is being able to quantify the value of the "cross over pyramid" of any clinical value
- Is the magnitude of the cross over point on the Y axis significant
- Is the time point of cross over on the X axis significant
- and ... what is the shape of the cross over pyramid telling us about the foot is functioning
