Abstract: Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability, validity, and accuracy of the Footwork Pro system in the measurement of static plantar pressure in healthy adults. Methods: We performed a reliability study using a test-retest design. The sample consisted of 132 healthy adults of both sexes, aged 20 to 40. Participants were assessed by three trained investigators. Measurements for the static plantar pressure were performed. We used the Descriptive statistics, ANOVA test, Pairwise Comparisons (Tukey's Method), Practical implications to estimate reliability, validity and accuracy of the footwork pro system. Results: Measurements across static conditions were consistent between sessions, with CCC values exceeding 0.90 and minimal biases. No significant differences were found in the test-retest evaluations. The study demonstrates high reliability and consistency in plantar pressure measurements across different researchers for various foot regions. Conclusion: The Footwork Pro system demonstrates clinically acceptable reliability, validity, and accuracy for static plantar pressure measurements, supporting its application in research and clinical environments.
