Comparison of Ground Reaction Force Components during Running with Running Shoes and Control Shoes in Individuals with Genu Varum
Authors
Abstract:
Introduction: Running poses an essential role in maintaining cardiovascular health. However, it has been demonstrated that 2.5 to 38 injuries per 1,000 hours of running can occur. The purpose of this study was to investigate ground reaction forces components during running with running shoes compared to control shoes in individuals with genu varum. Methods: This study was laboratory and semi-experimental. The statistical society includes all male students at the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili. The subjects of the study consist of 15 healthy males and 14 males with genu varum. Ground reaction force components were recorded using Bertec force plate during running in four conditions: barefoot, running shoes (Alborz shoes and agility shoes), and control shoes. Two ways ANOVA with repeated measure was used for statistical analyses. Results: Peak lateral ground reaction force at heel contact with Alborz shoes were higher than that of control shoes (P = 0.001). Peak anterior ground reaction force component at the push-off phase with agility shoes were lower than those in control shoes (P < 0.003) and barefoot (P < 0.019) condition. Conclusions: Since Alborz shoes were able to reduce the peak lateral ground reaction force, using these shoes was recommended to reduce injuries. However, further study in this field is warranted.

Effect of unstable shoes on ground reaction force parameters during stance phase of running
Introduction: 24-67% of recreational runners suffer from running-related injuries. The purpose of this study was to test the effect of unstable shoes on selected ground reaction force (GRF) parameters during stance phase of running. Method: 20 healthy men (age of 21±2.27 years, height of 176.93±5.39 cm, and mass of 72.30±8.84 kg) ran on the force plate placed in the middle of 15 m runway in ba...

Introduction: Most of the functional disorders in the foot are created by changes in the arch of the foot. The motion control shoes are designed to control the excessive rear foot motions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of long-term use of motion control shoe on the ground reaction force components in individuals with functional pronated feet during running. Methods: The prese...

Background & Aim: Genu varus is one of the most common injuries of the lower limb, which affects posture control by creating internal torque on the ankle and foot joints. The complication of Genu varus is accompanied by the biomechanical change of the lower limb during walking and running. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of using agility shoes on running kinetics in indi...
