The footplate of a steam locomotive is a large metal plate that rests on top of the frames.
The presence of a footplate is almost universal in British locomotive construction, is often (but not universally) seen in continental European locomotives, and practically never on locomotives constructed in the United States.
The walkways and running boards seen on American locomotives that sometimes give an appearance of a footplate are attached to the boiler or the pilot and are not structural elements.

 Ruhr-Universität Bochum
The classic notion of the ossicular vibrations was that the malleus and incus form an almost rigid unit which vibrates about a "main axis" specified by the points of attachment of the anterior malleal and the posterior incudal ligament.
Thus, although all the ossicles move strongly, the translational component of the motion is fairly small in the regions of heavy masses.
In the case of a stimulation perpendicular to the stapes footplate - which is given here - the relative motion is quantity, that governs the perception of hearing: it is the motion of the footplate relative to the surrounding oval window.

 Footplate of gangway and railway car patent invention
A footplate 10 is formed by connecting extruded shape members 110 arranged in parallel along the width direction of a railway car by a pipe 80, with the upper surface of the extruded shape members 110 used as the walking surface.
Rollers are provided at the bottom surface of the footplate that enable the footplate to move in the width direction when one railway car is displaced in the width direction with respect to another railway car.
However, the footplates disclosed here is arranged so that the footplates deform into a parallelogram when the adjacent car bodies are displaced in the width direction, and requires rollers for supporting the footplate structure, so the thickness of the whole footplate structure is relatively large.

The anomalies may range from simple fixation of the footplate due to incomplete resolution of the mesenchymal tissue during embryologic development, to the absence of the stapes in infancy.
If the footplate is visible, it may be possible to remove it by manipulation and extraction with a fine hook, or a small drill hole may be made at the margin of the oval window and a fine hook used to remove it.
If the footplate cannot be removed without excessive manipulation, it should be left in place and a soft tissue graft placed over the oval window and the operation abandoned.
