The purpose of this study was to compare the plantar pressure parameters between normal insole and varus functional insole during treadmill walking and to collect basic data on the improvement of walk function in patient with varus. Sixteen university students with varus were recruited for this study. Novel's Pader-X Mobile System was used to measure plantar pressure during walking on the treadmill at a walking speed of 5.0 km/h. The maximum force and contact area during twenty steps were calculated for the analysis. Based on the results in this study, it was concluded that: First, wearing B Insole reduced the dependence on A2 in the propulsion cycle of gait through varus correction. Second, Wearing functional A and B insoles was effective in dispersing the pressure by increasing the A3 contact area.
