Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Pressure Measurement
Device: Orthotest CE

Orthotest CE is a rigid base mapping system composed by 1024 pressure transducers uniformly distributed in a 35x35 cm surface.

Orthotest CE is a product manufactured by Vista-Medical. The patient sit on the rigid base during 2 hours to record the pressure and all the data needed for the pilot study.
