| Abstract | For determine the performance of footwear it is nee essary assesses its effects on plantar pressure. Pr evious studies have found that the design change in shape and sole structure can significantly alter shoe plantar pressure in specific regions of the foot, which would prevent illnesses and supply more comfort. A pilot study was carried out in order to evaluate the plan tar pressure distribution of a new design of footwear with the curved sole on a group of females who works in a dental clinic. Objective: The aim of this preliminary study was to directly assess the effect of the footwear with the curved sole on plantar pressure distribution patterns in standing position. Methods: The pilot study was conducted in two sessions with an interval of 20 days. Records were taken using a platform of pressure measurement distribution in normal subjects, in (a) bare foot, (b) conventional shoes and (c) footwear with the curved sole. Mean pressure and contact area were collected. This study has revealed significant differences between the plantar pressure patterns found in normal subjects wearing footwear with curved sole compared to those found when they were wearing conventional shoes in standing position. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
