Abstract:	Plantar pressure distribution has been described as an indicator of the load patterns imposed on the musculoskeletal system during dynamic activities and can provide information regarding foot function during motion. Objective: Describe and compare plantar pressure distribution during walking and running in eutrophic children aged 4 to 10 years old. Methods: Plantar pressure distribution data from 103 eutrophic children aged 4 to 10 years old were acquired using the Emed n-50 ® (Novel, Germany) platform during walking and running on self-selected speed. The relative contact time, peak pressure and absolute and relative values of maximum force and contact area were analyzed under 5 foot regions (hindfoot, midfoot, forefoot hallux and toes) and the total area of the foot. Results: Body weight and height, body mass index (BMI) and foot length showed gradual and continuous increases while arch index (AI) was reduced with increasing age. Plantar loads and contact area were higher during running in comparison to walking, however, increases were also observed under the hindfoot during walking. Differences between walking and running could be observed both for absolute and normalized variables. In the analysis of correlation between plantar pressure and age, it was found that age influenced plantar pressure, tending to increase variables values under the heel, forefoot, hallux and toes, and reduce them under the midfoot area. Morphological variables also showed significant correlations with plantar pressure distribution, especially with absolute maximum force and contact area. Relative maximum force showed negative correlations with age, body weight and height. Significant correlations with the plantar arch index were mainly found with relative contact area under all regions of the foot and under the midfoot region with the other plantar pressure variables. Conclusion: Results indicate that running has higher values of plantar pressure variables than walking in children aged 4 to 10 years. Increases in plantar loads may be associated with increasing body weight and height and trends of variables increasing variable values under the hindfoot, forefoot, hallux and toes, and decrease under the midfoot, are possibly associated with the maturation process of children. These associations between plantar pressure and the maturation process that occurs with increasing age are supported by the significant correlations that were found between plantar pressure, age and morphological variables. Data may be used as reference for comparison with studies evaluating walking and running in children and adults.
