(A) Example of weight pressure dynamic assessments recorded by the digital insole system from a patient at week 4, 8 and 12 during the healing period. Each dotted line represents Centre-of-Pressure (CoP) path data recorded from one of the few steps managed during the walking exercise (5 to 10 steps in average). Data obtained from the injured foot are shown on the top row and those obtained from the healthy foot on the bottom row. (B) Time-course changes in CoP variables over the 12-week observation period. Values in the boxplots (N = 15, 13 and 11 at week 4, 8 and 12 respectively) are medians ± 1.5*Interquartile Range (IQR). *p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001 vs injured tendon.
