To generate normative tables from plantar pressure prole data gathered from students at an SA university.Methods. e RS Footscan (RSscan, Belgium) system was used to measure the plantar pressure values of the foot. Ten anatomical landmarksof the foot were analysed: the hallux, lateral toes, ve metatarsal heads, midfoot, and medial and lateral heel. ese ten areas were groupedinto one of three regions: forefoot, midfoot and heel. A total of 180 participants were subdivided as follows: gender (males, n=90; females,n=90); race (black, n=60; white, n=60; coloured, n=60). Each race group comprised 30 males and 30 females.Results. Of the ten individual plantar pressure areas, the second and third metatarsal heads demonstrated the highest mean peak plantarpressure values. Of the three regions, the heel region was ascribed with the largest plantar pressure values. Black females, coloured malesand coloured females yielded the highest pressure values, especially under the midfoot region of the foot. Black and white males and whitefemales exhibited the lowest pressure under the foot, especially under the midfoot region.Conclusion. e plantar pressure prole data generated in this study could serve to provide clinicians with a frame of reference whenevaluating participants within the age range of 18 - 30 years.</jats:p> Dynamic plantar pressure proles of South African university students South African Journal of Sports Medicine
