Effect of Wearing Running Shoes on Lower Limb Kinematics by Using OpenSim Simulation Software

(1) Flatfoot is a common malformation in both children and adults, which proper arch fails to develop. This study aimed see how over-the-counter running shoes improved the gait patterns of flatfoot patients. (2) Methods: Three healthy subjects were included study. was diagnosed by lateral talometatarsal angle more than 4 degrees talocalcaneal 30 degrees. All patient data captured using Vicon motion caption cameras. The allowed walk at self-selected speeds with without shoes. (3) Results: Significant differences lower limb kinematics observed between barefoot shoe gait. In addition, wearing shoes, center mass changed. (4) Conclusion: improvement balance control clearly indicated, change on entire influenced normalizing stresses foot These valuable results can be used for rehabilitation programs.
