Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Criterion validity of foot area measurement
The total contact area of the foot during a static stance will be measured by the machine learning based optical pedography Instrument and compared to the gold standard pedobarographic platform. The validity will be determined by the Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r) between the two devices. Unit of measure: Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r) ranging from -1 to 1.
Criterion validity of peak plantar pressure distribution
The distribution of pressure across the plantar surface (specifically mean peak pressure) will be measured. Validity will be assessed by calculating the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) between the machine learning based optical pedography instrument and the gold standard pedobarographic platform. Unit of measure: Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) ranging from 0 to 1.
Intrasession reliability of foot area measurement
The consistency of the total contact area (cm 2) measured across 5 repeated trials within a single session. Reliability will be assessed using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC 3,5) to determine the degree of agreement between the five captures of the same participant's feet. Units of measure: Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) ranging from 0 to 1
Intrasession reliability of mean peak pressure
The consistency of mean peak pressure measurements across 5 repeated trials within a single session. Reliability will be assessed by calculating the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC 3,5) for the five measurements taken on the machine learning based optical pedography instrument. Unit of measure: Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) ranging from 0 to 1
