Dear Mahsa,
I don't have a very thorough knowledge in the area but
I am aware of collaborative work going on between the
Oxford Gait Laboratory, the University of Oxford and
the Istituto Superiore di Sanita, Rome.
They're developing a paediatric foot model using
Claudia Giacomozzi's compound design (a pressure plate
on a force plate) as well as motion analysis and other
techniques.
Their paper, which compares plantar pressure data with
force plate data and stereophotogrammetric data, is
still in press but it is already available online at
sciencedirect.com.
J.A. Stebbins, M.E. Harrington, C. Giacomozzi, N.
Thompson, A. Zavatsky and T.N. Theologis. Assessment
of sub-division of plantar pressure measurement in
children Gait & Posture, (In Press).
Hope that helps,
Sian Lawson
