THE EFFECTS OF SHOE TYPE ON FOOT FUNCTIONING AND CONTACT PRESSURES DURING

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional effectiveness of a selection of women's walking shoes with particular attention being directed towards an assessment of specific shoe modifications which were included in a prototype model to theoretically reduce the undesirable characteristics associated with flexible shoes. Nine female subjects performed three trials for each of five shoe conditions. The prototype model decreased the encountered pressures and pressure integrals in the region of the second metatarsal-phalangeal joint. The use of the prototype shoe did not appear to unduly affect the gait of the subject

The results obtained indicated that there is little correlation between Extraversion-Introversion and most of the areas investigated for the population sampled. A correlation coefficient was performed on the five predictions using the male sample only, the female sample only, and the entire sample with males and females combined. Two of the fifteen coefficients proved to be significant and were discussed along with other findings of the study. Weaknesses of the study were also cited and suggestions were given regarding the improvement of similar studies which may be done in the future. EXTRAVERSION-INTROVERSION AND THE SEXUA
