Objective

To investigate the dynamic balance ability of healthy young adults under different obstacle-crossing strategies, thereby providing a theoretical basis for fall prevention training and public facility design.

Methods

Twenty healthy young adults participated in the experiment using F-scan plantar pressure analysis insoles. The subjects were required to cross three obstacles with different combinations of height and width. With their dominant foot serving as the leading foot and the non-dominant foot as the trailing foot, the subjects performed both lateral and forward crossing maneuvers, and their plantar pressure data were collected.

Results

Different crossing strategies significantly affected the adjustment speed of the leading foot's center of pressure in the medial-lateral direction (COP_ML), the area of the 95% confidence circle, ML amplitude, and anterior-posterior (AP) amplitude (P<0.05). These strategies also significantly impacted the trailing foot's COP_ML adjustment speed, the area of the 95% confidence circle, and the range between the maximum and minimum swings (P<0.05). For the leading foot, during lateral and forward crossing, the balance parameter values under different heights and widths were statistically significant (P<0.05), increasing as the height and width increased. For the trailing foot, during forward crossing, the balance parameter values under different heights were statistically significant (P<0.05), increasing with height, while during lateral crossing, the differences in balance parameter values were not statistically significant (P>0.05).

Conclusions

Healthy young adults demonstrate better balance ability with the leading foot during forward obstacle crossing, which aligns with the movement habits of the dominant foot and daily activity patterns. The trailing foot exhibits a more stable plantar pressure distribution during lateral obstacle crossing, likely due to a larger contact area and more even center of gravity distribution.
