BACKGROUND: Application of surface electromyography (SEMG) to the clinical evaluation
of neuromuscular disorders can provide relevant “diagnostic” contributions in terms of …

Excessive pronation has been implicated in the development of numerous overuse injuries
of the lower limb and is suggested to cause more proximal biomechanical dysfunction …

Background Some studies have found that flat-arched foot posture is related to altered lower
limb muscle function compared to normal-or high-arched feet. However, the results from …

Background Sand is an easy-to-access, cost-free resource that can be used to treat
pronated feet (PF). Therefore, the aims of this study were to contrast the effects of walking on …

The purpose of this experiment was to obtain electromyographic (EMG) activity from a
sample of healthy shoulders to allow a reference database to be developed and used for …

BACKGROUND: One of the hypothesised mechanisms by which foot orthoses obtain their
clinical effect is by influencing muscle activity, however previous studies have reported …

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 …

Previous electromyographic (EMG) studies of gluteus medius (GMed) have not accurately
quantified the function of the three proposed structurally and functionally unique segments …

Flatfoot is linked to secondary lower limb joint problems, such as patellofemoral pain. This
study aimed to investigate the influence of medial posting insoles on the joint mechanics of …

Background Shoe mileage is an important factor that may influence the risk of sustaining
injuries during walking. The aims of this study were to examine the effects of shoe mileage …
