The effect of foot orthoses with forefoot cushioning or metatarsal pad on forefoot peak plantar pressure in running
BACKGROUND Foot orthoses are frequently used in sports for the treatment of overuse complaints with sufficient evidence available for certain foot-related overuse pathologies like plantar fasciitis, rheumatoid arthritis and foot pain (e.g., metatarsalgia). One important aim is to reduce plantar pressure under prominent areas like metatarsal heads. For the forefoot region, mainly two common stra...
متن کاملEffect of rocker shoe design features on forefoot plantar pressures in people with and without diabetes.
BACKGROUND There is no consensus on the precise rocker shoe outsole design that will optimally reduce plantar pressure in people with diabetes. This study aimed to understand how peak plantar pressure is influenced by systematically varying three design features which characterise a curved rocker shoe: apex angle, apex position and rocker angle. METHODS A total of 12 different rocker shoe des...
متن کاملComparing the Effects of Lower Extremity Muscle Fatigue on Dynamic Balance of Volleyball Players
Objectives: Lower extremity muscles are important for maintaining dynamic balance and athletic performance. Fatigue of these muscles may affect dynamic balance. It is not clear whether fatigue in a particular muscle group can affect dynamic balance more than fatigue in other groups. This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the effects of fatigue in five muscle groups on the dynamic bala...
متن کاملThe effect of toe only rocker shoe 10 and 15 degree compared to control shoe on plantar pressure, force and surface in healthy older adult
Objective: The aim of present study was to investigate the effect of toe only rocker with an angle of 10 and 15 degrees on the distribution of plantar pressure in healthy elderly people. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the plantar pressure of the foot and to remove excessive pressure from different parts of the plantar surface of the foot in order to maintain the independence and func...
متن کاملPlantar pressures and relative metatarsal lengths in older people with and without forefoot pain
Background It has been suggested that plantar forefoot pain (‘metatarsalgia’) may be caused by the presence of abnormally long lesser metatarsals leading to excessive loading of the metatarsal heads when walking. However, evidence to support this proposed mechanism is limited. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine whether plantar pressures during gait and the relative lengths ...
