Mean plantar pressure.

<p>Left panel: The MP distribution for the Malawian group; middle panel: The MP distribution for the Dutch group; Right panel: The difference in MP between the Malawian and Dutch group. The coloured squares indicate that the MP is statistically different (p<0.007) between the groups and the black small lines indicate that the groups were not significantly different. Note that for both groups only pixels are shown with a mean output above 0.5N</p

Trajectory of the Center of Pressure.

<p>Upper left panel: the MP distribution for the Dutch group including the CoP path of the Dutch and Malawian group. Upper right panel: Difference in relative vCoP: Malawi group minus Dutch. Lower panels: the difference in CoP path for the mediolateral (left panel) and anteroposterior (right panel) direction. The red bars indicate that the CoP path/vCoP differs significantly between both groups.</p
