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
