AB Abstract Introduction: Plantar callosities are a common cause of pain in the forefootand also a cause of alterations in plantar pressure. Mechanical debridementwith a scalpel can relieve pain and increase functional capacity.Objective: The aim of the study was to analyse if debridement of plantar callositiesand corns modify walking.Methods: Thirty four patients with plantar foot pain due to callosities and corns,and up to 5 in the visual analogical scale (VAS) of pain, (20 women, age29   11.57 years) were analysed by taking into account the changes of their gait.The outcome measurement was the VAS scale and the Win-track system, cycle ofthe gait(milliseconds), angle(degrees), cadence(number/minutes) and step(centimetres)were measured, 24 h before and after the debridement with a scalpel.Results: There were significant differences in foot pain (mean 67.7, p < 0.001) butthere were no significant differences in measures of gait variables before thedebridement of the callosities, and 24 h after the procedure, being all those above0.05.Conclusions: Our study shows that the debridement with scalpel does not changethe variables of the gait 24 h after the procedure.
