Foot Placement Characteristics and Plantar Pressure Distribution Patterns during Stepping on Ground in Neonates

Foot Placement Characteristics and Plantar Pressure Distribution Patterns during Stepping on Ground in Neonates

Stepping on ground can be evoked in human neonates, though it is rather irregular and stereotyped heel-to-toe roll-over pattern is lacking. Such investigations can provide insights into the role of contact- or load-related proprioceptive feedback during early development of locomotion. However, the...
