Forefoot Running Plantar Pressure Distribution Pattern When Running
Above, shows the plantar pressure distribution pattern in a forefoot strike. Initial contact is made under the 5th metatarsal head where it is distributed over the 4th, 3rd and 2nd metatarsal head as the rest of the foot comes in contact with the ground. This landing pattern may do a better job attenuating impact at foot-strike than landing directly on the heel.
