Anthropometric and Biomechanical Analysis of the Children's Foot for the Design of Healthy Footwear: ABIP Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Anthropometric study for Child, Only. Completed, enrolled 1,216 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
In the era of science and technology, footwear has become not only an essential item of clothing, but also another tool for the optimal development of children, the improvement of work and sports performance or the prevention and treatment of pathologies. The anthropometric characteristics of the child's foot differ considerably from those of the adult foot, in fact, it is not until the age of 18-19 years that the structure of the foot is finally consolidated. Therefore, it is essential that footwear manufacturers know these characteristics to achieve an adequate design. Current scientific evidence highlights the importance of considering the unique morphology of the infant foot, as well as the high functional demands to which footwear is subjected at these ages. There is a lack of studies that analyze in detail the shape of the child's foot.

Timeline
Interventions
Once the 5 models of lasts have been produced in phase 1, certain shoe models will be designed and manufactured based on these lasts at random and at the free choice of the designers of a footwear company. These models will then be physically tested on children to analyze their effects on walking and walking.
