Abstract :
In this paper, we presented some theoretical and practical applications of bio-behavioral analysis of the subjects showing different shapes of the plantar surface (hollow foot and flat foot) these leading to changes in joints´ load and respectively in the entire structure of the locomotion system. In the second part of the paper we presented the component parts of the experimental system and also the recording methodology of the anthropometrical data and of Footscan provided data. In the last part we presented the results of these analyzes and the conclusions concerning the improvement of the static and dynamic bio-behavior for the subjects with plantar support deficiencies.
