Data outputs for research project

Independent walking is a crucial milestone, allowing infants to explore their environment efficiently. This phase introduces complex foot-ground interactions. However, previous studies have focused on either center of pressure (CoP) or plantar pressure distribution alone, often losing critical information. The impact of variables like body weight, height, and foot size on pressure distribution in infants remains also underexplored. Our study uses continuous statistical approaches to comprehensively analyze anterior-posterior (AP) and medio-lateral (ML) trajectories of CoP and plantar pressure distribution in infancy, mapping foot-ground interactions from new to confident walking stages.
