Abstract
The lack of association with foottype-related and toe extensor activity-related plantar pressure variables suggest that these are not risk factors for the development of chronic exertional compartment syndrome, contrary to earlier hypotheses. The greater lateral to medial loading could theoretically represent increased Tibialis anterior muscle activity at heel strike but a subsequent loss of control as the ankle is lowered. Future studies directly investigating muscle activity and function are now required.
