Table 2 Medial-Lateral Pressure Index (MLPI) outcomes by insole condition

From: An exploration of changes in plantar pressure distributions during walking with standalone and supported lateral wedge insole designs

MLPI Outcome		FLAT	WEDG	WEDG + V-ARCH	WEDG + U-ARCH
Early Stance	Mean (% foot width)	3.2 (2.9)	5.5 (2.5) ^a	5.8 (3.0) ^a	6.9 (3.0) ^a,b
Early Stance	AUC (% foot width ^* sec)	1.0 (0.9)	1.8 (0.8) ^a	1.9 (1.0) ^a	2.3 (1.0) ^a,b
Late Stance	Mean (% foot width)	−2.5 (5.7)	0.5 (6.0) ^a	−0.4 (5.9) ^a	0.9 (6.2) ^a
Late Stance	AUC (% foot width ^* sec)	−0.8 (1.9)	0.2 (2.0) ^a	−0.1 (2.0) ^a	0.4 (2.1) ^a

All values reported as mean (standard deviation)
Positive (lateral) and negative (medial) values indicate the centre of pressure position relative to the midline of the foot
^a denotes a significant difference from FLAT (p < 0.05)
^b denotes a significant difference from WEDG (p < 0.05)
