Within orthopedic surgery, foot pressure is one of the most important metrics used for tracking recovery progress due to its relevance in healing for orthopedic procedures. Measurement of weight-bearing activities in the postoperative phase of bunionectomy or ankle fusion surgeries is attained using pressure-sensitive insoles or force plates, which help ensure that patients do not exceed the safe pressure limits for the surgical site. For instance, during ACL reconstruction rehabilitation, it is safe to increase forefoot pressure over six weeks to a certain limit to allow progression from partial to full weight-bearing. This information also assists in the detection of compensatory gait patterns such as weight shifting to the lateral aspect of the foot due to pain, which is harmful as it may result in subsequent secondary conditions such as iliotibial band syndrome. By objectively measuring the healing process, foot pressure monitoring enhances precision regarding complications and improves overall rehabilitation milestone schedules.
