Abstract |
PURPOSE This study suggests effective guideline manuals prescribed for different exercise programs and appropriate sports medicine applications for preventing injury and improving physical activity through a systematic review of precedent literatures about plantar pressure. METHODS We selected Zijlstra et al’s method (2007) of pre-study, which is based on precedent literature published by many researchers that have engaged in both domestic and international study. In this systematic review, we selected Zijlstra et al’s model and then revised the appropriate key-words from precedent literature to our present study. RESULTS We selected nine studies located in research databases from 378 related articles. These studies were summarized in terms of inclusion and exclusion about analyzing plantar pressure in sports medicine. Results showed a significant number of relevant results in sport medicine and exercise fields through analyzing plantar pressure. Plantar pressure had significant differences between pre-test and post-tests such as balance, stability, and body posture. CONCLUSIONS The value of these plantar pressure-related studies demonstrates injury prevention when prescribed for normal people to be active in a safe manner. Additionally, these studies consider guidelines for foot movement as well as removing risk factors for injury and coaching exercise. |
