How footplant changes after foot and ankle surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study uses special pressure mats to measure how your foot pushes against the ground before and after surgery. It helps doctors learn how surgeries change your walking and balance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have foot or ankle surgery.
- You must be 18 to 75 years old.
- You must be able to come back for a visit 6 months after surgery.
- You cannot have severe balance problems (like trouble standing without help).
- You cannot have significant memory or thinking problems.

This study measures the pressure on the bottom of your foot while walking, which may help design better shoes or insoles for people with partial foot amputations due to diabetes.
This trial tests whether a detailed 3D foot model (made from measurements/scans) can better predict outcomes after certain reconstructive ankle and foot surgeries. You may be able to join if you’re already scheduled for one of these surgeries and can meet walking and measurement requirements.
This study looks at how pressure is distributed on your feet when you stand or walk, and how it relates to foot pain. It aims to help understand normal foot function in healthy young adults.
This study compares how different walking surfaces affect foot muscle activity in people with plantar fasciitis and in healthy adults. It’s aimed at better understanding what changes happen in the foot and how terrain might influence symptoms and muscle function.
This study tests whether adding specific foot exercises and balance training to standard physical therapy helps reduce pain, improve function, and change how pressure is distributed on your feet. It may be a good option if you have had plantar fasciitis for at least three months.
This trial studies whether teaching people to use mobility devices before surgery can lower the chance of falling afterward. It’s for adults having planned (elective) one-sided foot or ankle surgery and who will need limited walking after surgery.
