Let’s Look At The Data

PressureGuardian® was used in testing loads during ambulation at three significant landmarks over a timeframe of 20 seconds calculating the max load and average load over time.

Plantar aspect of the calcaneus

Plantar aspect of the 1st metatarsal head

Inferior aspect of the medial malleolus

---

The data collected for max load at each landmark during ambulation was as follows:

	Without Alger Unloader	With Alger Unloader
Calcaneus	22.75 PSI	0.72 PSI
1st MTH	2.86 PSI	0.00 PSI
Med Malleolus	2.93 PSI	0.52 PSI

Summary

Use of the Alger Unloader resulted in considerable reduction of load in all measured areas:

100% reduction of pressure on the 1st metatarsal head

96.8% reduction of pressure on the hind foot through the calcaneus

82.3% reduction of pressure through the tibia at the medial malleolus
