AB Background: Adult pes planus is a highly prevalent condition characterized by the gradual or sudden appearanceof fallen arches in adulthood, which is a recognized cause of difficulty with balance and stability, discomfort,pain, swelling, tired and achy feet and impairment. Accordingly, the main purpose of this analytical, case-controlstudy was to evaluate the characteristics in foot morphology related to static plantar pressure distribution inadults with and without a bilateral condition.Methods: Sixty-eight subjects were recruited by a laboratory in this analytical case-control study, involving thirtyfouradults with a bilateral condition and thirty-four healthy controls. Static plantar pressure was measured in allparticipants using a specific portable pressure platform with multiple resistive sensors which was placed on thefloor.Results: Static plantar pressure distribution in the cases group showed significant increases in the right and leftsurface areas, in the right heel surface area and also in the left foot mean peak pressure (p < 0.001), as well as inthe left heel surface area (p = 0.003).Conclusions: Adults with bilateral flatfoot showed changes in the surface areas in both feet and recorded higherlevels in static plantar pressures with respect to the control group, a feature which can be associated with thiscommon bilateral condition.
