Resumo(s)

In sports involving high impact forces, like handball, the intense effort alongside the set of repetitive motions is connected with an increase on forefoot plantar pressure consequently increasing injury probability. As a preventive measure, the use of functional foot orthoses (FFO) is recommended for plantar pressure redistribution. The goal of this study was to determine functional foot orthoses influence on forefoot plantar pressure, during three athletic movements. Two tests were performed in five athletes, one with the standard insole and the other with a functional foot.
