Effect of experimentally induced plantar pain on trunk posture during gait

[Purpose] Plantar pain is associated with the prevalence of low back pain. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that some kind of physical change should be occurring in the trunk due to plantar pain. However, the physical effect of plantar pain on the trunk remains unknown. We evaluated the effect of plantar pain on trunk posture during gait. [Participants and Methods] Ten healthy volunteers participated in the present study. Participants walked under two conditions: without pain and with pain. In the with pain condition, we set pain-inducing devices to the right foot to induce plantar pain during stance phase. By using 3D motion analysis system, the angles of the head, thorax, and pelvis segments, as well as the neck, trunk, bilateral hip, bilateral knee, and bilateral ankle joints, were measured. We analyzed the angle data throughout the gait cycle by using one-dimensional statistical parametric mapping. [Results] The anterior trunk tilt was observed in the right stance phase. [Conclusion] The anterior trunk tilt observed in the with pain condition may be a burden on the trunk. Our results presented one of the possible reasons for increased prevalence of low back pain in the plantar pain patients.
