Objectives: The purpose of the study was to determine whether wrist immobilization causes alterations in foot pressure and center of gravity, considering hand dominance and visual conditions (eyes open or closed). Methods: The research experiment was conducted using the PodoPrint S4 platform. Basic descriptive statistics were calculated to summarize the variables. Additionally, in the mixed linear model (t-tests use Satterthwaite\u2019s method) an analysis of variance for repeated measures (ANOVA-RM) was conducted for the determination of the objectives of the study. Results: This study included a total of 44 participants (29 females and 15 males), with an average age of 36.5 years (SD = 17.5). Immobilization, independent of eye condition, resulted in significant alterations in antero-posterior oscillation and in a larger plantar support area. In addition, the results suggest that the eye state significantly influences plantar support, independent of limb immobilization or dominance. Conclusions: Our findings reveal significant alterations in antero-posterior oscillation and plantar support due to immobilization, suggesting a dynamic interplay between wrist function and lower limb biomechanics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14082829","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,20]],"date-time":"2025-04-20T20:24:16Z","timestamp":1745180656000},"page":"2829","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Wrist Joint Restriction: Impact on Foot Pressure, Center of Gravity, and the Role of the Dominant Hand"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3617-5702","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leire","family":"Cruz Gambero","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Physiotherapy Department, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Malaga, IBIMA Plataforma BIONAND Hand Research Group FE-17, C\/Arquitecto Francisco Pe\u00f1alosa (Ampliaci\u00f3n Campus Teatinos), 29010 Malaga, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4558-3548","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriel A.","family":"Gij\u00f3n-Noguer\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing and Podiatry, Faculty of Health Science, University of Malaga, C\/Arquitecto Francisco Pe\u00f1alosa (Ampliaci\u00f3n Campus Teatinos), 29010 Malaga, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2219-3512","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Salvador","family":"D\u00edaz Miguel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing and Podiatry, Faculty of Health Science, University of Malaga, C\/Arquitecto Francisco Pe\u00f1alosa (Ampliaci\u00f3n Campus Teatinos), 29010 Malaga, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8707-304X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Javier","family":"Bar\u00f3n-L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Psiquiatry, Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaga, Blvr Louis Pasteur, 32 (Campus Teatinos), 29010 Malaga, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3251-8918","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cantero-T\u00e9llez","family":"Raquel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physiotherapy Department, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Malaga, IBIMA Plataforma BIONAND Hand Research Group FE-17, C\/Arquitecto Francisco Pe\u00f1alosa (Ampliaci\u00f3n Campus Teatinos), 29010 Malaga, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kim, B.S., Cho, C.H., Lee, K.J., Lee, S.W., and Byun, S.H.
