Background Dynamic foot function is considered a risk factor for lower limb overuse injuries
including Achilles tendinopathy, shin pain, patellofemoral pain and stress fractures …

Background Medial longitudinal arch characteristics are thought to be a contributing factor to
lower limb running injuries. Running biomechanics associated with different foot types have …

Background This prospective study explored the effects of endurance running (ER) in
minimal versus standard running shoes on the foot's superficial layer intrinsic muscles and …

Methods: The study included 10 male and 10 female RFS runners who completed 3‐
dimensional running analysis in 3 conditions: shod with RFS, shod with FFS, and BF …

The COP progression is the trajectory of the center of foot pressure. Thirty healthy young
adults were recruited to participate in this study. All subjects were asked to walk randomly at …

Background The aim of this study was to compare centre of pressure (COP) characteristics
between healthy adults with normal, planus or cavus feet who were allocated to groups …

Longitudinal midsole bending stiffness and elasticity are two critical features in the
construction of running shoes. Stiff elastic materials (eg, carbon fiber) can be used to alter …

The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to identify dynamic gait-related risk factors
for Achilles tendinopathy (AT) in a population of novice runners. Prior to a 10-week running …

The aim of this study was to determine if runners who use concomitantly different pairs of
running shoes are at a lower risk of running‐related injury (RRI). Recreational runners (n …

This investigation identifies the center of pressure (COP) progression characteristics under
the plantar region for elderly adults during barefoot walking. A total of 60 healthy adults (30 …
