Tibiofemoral kinematics: the effect of footwear and foot orthoses during running
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background The knee is the most common site of running related injuries (42.1% of all injuries). Orthoses are thought to manage knee pain by reducing internal tibial rotation as the subtalar joint pronates. However, the influence of the footwear that orthoses are placed in is often ignored. This study aimed to determine the immediate effects of footwear and foot orthoses on transverse plane rotation of the tibiofemoral joint during the stance phase of running.

The effect of footwear on multi-segment foot kinematics during running
Background Footwear is intended to prevent lower extremity injuries caused by excessive foot-ground impacts and faulty mechanics. However, no clear relationship between shoe habits and injury risk has been established [1]. Many studies have examined barefoot versus shod running kinematics, but the results have been equivocal [2,3]. A factor in the inconsistent results could be the relationship ...
متن کاملThe influence of a foot orthotic on lower extremity transverse plane kinematics in collegiate female athletes with pes planus.
Non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in female athletes remain prevalent. Athletes with excessive foot pronation have been identified to be at greater risk for non-contact ACL injury. Excessive foot pronation has been linked to increased medial tibial rotation. Increased medial tibial rotation heightens ACL strain and has been observed at or near the time of ACL injury. Foot or...
متن کاملUsing musculoskeletal modeling to evaluate the effect of ankle foot orthosis tuning on musculotendon dynamics: a case study.
PURPOSE This case study examines the influence of an ankle foot orthosis footwear combination (AFO-FC) on musculotendon lengths and gait kinematics and kinetics after right thrombotic stroke resulting in left hemiplegia. METHODS Gait analysis was performed over three visits where the subject walked with an AFO-FC with two shank-to-vertical angle (SVA) alignments, a posterior leaf spring AFO (...

The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the literature pertaining to the effect of foot posture, foot orthoses and footwear on lower limb muscle activity during walking and running. A database search of Medline, CINAHL, Embase and SPORTDiscus without language restrictions revealed 504 citations for title and abstract review. Three articles were translated to English and a final 46 art...
متن کاملThe effect of different types of foot orthoses on the biomechanical variables, lower extremity muscular activity and balance in elderly: A systematic review study
Older adults demonstrate increased amounts of postural sway, which may ultimately lead to falls. The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the effect of different foot orthoses on lower limb biomechanical variables, lower limb muscular activity, and balance in elderly people. Examining texts based on the search on the Magiran, Google Schoolar, Pubmed, Scopus, and SIVILICA sites w...
