Resumen

Los objetivos fueron describir el comportamiento de la articulación subastragalina y el pie en la marcha atlética y buscar correlaciones entre estos y la huella plantar. Participaron 12 marchadores. Se calculó el índice del arco sobre sus huellas plantares. Se registraron presiones plantares y se aplicó fotogrametría 3D durante un apoyo mientras marchaban a velocidad individual de competición. Se calcularon las presiones máximas en cada región del pie y los valores máximos y mínimos de los tres ángulos que describen la articulación subastragalina. La máxima pronación ha mostrado ser mayor que la descrita en la marcha común y similar a la de la carrera (-13.6±3.90). Al inicio del apoyo, la articulación subastragalina se encuentra entre la marcha y la carrera, sugiriendo un ajuste en su mecanismo amortiguador según el tipo de locomoción. La zona que registra mayores presiones es el retropié externo (21.02 kPa/kg) yseguida lu ego del antepié interno (13.12 kPa/kg), a diferencia de la carrera, que presenta presiones máximas similares. Los sujetos con pies más planos tienden a apoyar con la cara interna del pie (r=-0.713) y con la pierna inclinada medialmente (r=0.874). Asimismo, los marchadores con pies más cavos registran mayores presiones en la parte externa del retropié y, mientras que los más planos lo hacen en la parte interna del mediopié.
