Several methods to decrease foot pressure applying foot orthosis wedge or gait strategies by evaluating foot pressure increased abnormally by various foot diseases are under investigation [1]. Recently, studies on foot orthosis, diabetic shoes and old people footwear have been conducted, but there have been a few studies on orthotic devices such as metatarsal pad, dome and wedge [2]. Therefore, this study applied bar metatarsophalangeal area of normal persons and examined by using foot analysis system (pressure of forefoot, midfoot and rearfoot).
