This is the first study to demonstrate that compared with healthy controls, patients with acromegaly experience great force on their feet while standing and high pressure in the midfoot during walking. Podiatric evaluation, custom molded orthotics and individualized rehabilitation programs for acromegalic patients may provide better force and pressure distribution throughout the foot and improve gait and skeletal symptoms.
