ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 1 ABSTRACT Background: Fractures of the fifth metatarsal base are a relatively common injury. Whether

23

treated surgically or non-surgically, injury rehabilitation typically involves immobilization

24

in a rigid sandal or short CAM walker boot.

25

Objective: The primary objective of this study is to determine the peak pressure, contact

26

pressure, and impulse at the base of the fifth metatarsal in three common footwear devices

27

during common gait activities.

28

Design: Retrospective comparative study

29

Setting: Research was conducted in a sports performance laboratory at a university.

30

Participants: Twenty subjects without a recent history of foot injuries volunteered to

31

participate.

32

Methods: Each subject performed three common gait activities (walking, heel walking, and

33

pivoting) in three footwear devices (short CAM walker boot, post-op sandal, running shoe).

34

Pressure data was sampled (100Hz) using individually sized plantar pressure insoles and

35

software (Tekscan). Walking trials were collected at 1.0m/s +/- 5% (FusionSport Timing

36

Gates).

37

Outcome Measurements: Peak pressure, contact pressure, and impulse at the fifth

38

metatarsal base region were determined for all trials for all subjects. Mixed-effect

39

regression models were used to compare pair-wise differences in outcome variables

40

between footwear devices.

41

Results: The CAM walker boot resulted in significantly lower peak pressure at the fifth

42

metatarsal during walking and heel-walking relative to the post-op sandal (p
