從文獻中得知正常人足底壓力的建立、病態足底壓力的分析以及鞋墊效益的探討 均已有許多研究，然步行速度對足底壓力的影響卻未有文獻探討，因此本實驗之目的為研究 不同步行速度對足底壓力之影響。受試者包括五位男性，平均年齡為25.0±1.9歲、平均身 高為171.4±2.5cm、平均體重為68.4±3.8kg。使用EMED-PEDAR足底壓力量測系統，在 Trackmaster TM500型跑步機上測試四種不同步行速度（正常步行速度1.3m.s□、最快步行 速度2.0m.s□、慢跑速度2.0m.s□及正常跑步速度4.0m.s□）對足底壓力之影響。實驗結 果顯示速度因素對最大足底壓力為有意義的影響（P<0.05），也就是說當步行速度增加時，會 造成較高的最大足底壓力。當正常步行速度時，後足區（15.5±5.2N.cm□）及第二蹠骨區（15.4 ±4.1N.cm□）具有相似之最大足底壓力；當最快步行速度時，後足區（27.9±8.7N.cm□） 具有最大之足底壓力；而當慢跑及正常跑步速度時，均以第一蹠骨區（慢跑33.9±5.2N.cm □，正常跑步39.2±7.2N.cm□）及姆趾區（慢跑35.3±7.7N.cm□，正常跑步40.8±9.4N.cm □）具有最大足底壓力。本實驗結果顯示較快的步行速度會產生較大的足底壓力，而不同步 行速度時，足部最大足底壓力區域亦不相同。

　　　　　The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of walking speed on plantar foot pressure in treadmill walking. Five normal young adults were recruited in the experiments(age = 25.0±1.9 years, height = 171.4±2.5 cm, weight = 68.4 ±3.8 kg). Novel EMED-PEDAR foot pressure system and Trackmaster TM500 treadmill were used. The maximal peak pressure(MPP) was recorded on a motorized treadmill for four walking speeds: normal walking(1.3 m.s□),fast walking(2.0 m.s□),slow running (2.0 m.s□),and normal running(4.0 m.s□).The results showed that walking speed did influence plantar foot pressure. The MPP occurred at second metatarsal head(15.5 ±5.2N.cm□)and hindfoot(15.4±4.1N.cm□)during normal walking speed at hindfoot (27.9±8.7N.cm□) during fast walking speed, at first metatarsal head(33.9±5.2N.cm □)and hallux (35.3±7.7N.cm□)during slow running speed, at first metatarsal head (39.2±7.2N.cm□) and hallux(40.8±9.4N.cm□)during normal running speed. It was concluded that the plantar foot pressure increased as the walking speed increased, MPP of the various walking speed occurred at different foot regions.
