The effect of footwear on multi-segment foot kinematics during running
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 between foot structure and function. For example, Cobb et al. demonstrated significant walking gait kinematic differences between participants with typical and low arch foot structures using a multi-segment foot model [4]. The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of footwear on multi-segment foot kinematics during running in participants with low arch structure.

Tibiofemoral kinematics: the effect of footwear and foot orthoses during running
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 rot...
متن کاملComparison of Minimalist Footwear Strategies for Simulating Barefoot Running: A Randomized Crossover Study
Possible benefits of barefoot running have been widely discussed in recent years. Uncertainty exists about which footwear strategy adequately simulates barefoot running kinematics. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of athletic footwear with different minimalist strategies on running kinematics. Thirty-five distance runners (22 males, 13 females, 27.9 ± 6.2 years, 179.2 ...
متن کاملAcute effect of different minimalist shoes on foot strike pattern and kinematics in rearfoot strikers during running.
Despite the growing interest in minimalist shoes, no studies have compared the efficacy of different types of minimalist shoe models in reproducing barefoot running patterns and in eliciting biomechanical changes that make them differ from standard cushioned running shoes. The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of different footwear models, marketed as "minimalist" by their ...
متن کاملEffects of footwear midsole hardness on females' lower limb kinetics and kinematics during cutting manoeuvres.
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is a common sport injury, especially in team sports where cutting manoeuvres are overriding. Women were more likely to have an ACL injury (Quisquarter et al 2013). Although a recent study by Nigg et al (2012) investigated the influence of midsole hardness on running kinematics across different populations, very little was known about female athlete kine...
متن کاملThe effect of minimalist footwear and instruction on running: an observational study
BACKGROUND It is not known whether the effects on altered running style which are attributed to minimalist footwear can be achieved by verbal instructions in standard running shoes (SRS). AIM To explore the effect of Vibram FiveFingers (VFF) versus SRS plus running instruction on lower extremity spatiotemporal parameters and lower limb joint kinematics. METHODS 35 healthy subjects (mean=30 ...
