The pathology of low back pain (LBP) is anatomically and functionally related with the postural balance. Thus, it is surmised that foot plantar pressure is important in such balance. In this study, we investigated the correlation between plantar pressure and LBP. A total 125 college students (50 male students and 75 female students, aged from 20 to 29) participated in this study. Based on pain scale, groups were divided into two: control group (n=27) and LBP group (n=98). The foot plantar pressures were measured by two examiners. For measurements of the left foot, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC 3,1) was0.75,and ICC3,1 for the right was0.75. The Pearson coefficient between the pain scale and the index values of plantar foot pressure was 0.469 (p<0.000). In the present study, the reliability of two examiners using AssociateⓇ Platinum V7+ Digital foot scanner was fairly good. The significant correlation was found between pain scale and index values of plantar foot pressure. These results suggested that the measurement of plantar pressure using AssociateⓇ Platinum V7+ Digital foot scanner might be a helpful method for examining LBP.
