The purposes of this project were to assess the effect of four different shoe inserts on the
path of the center of pressure (COP), to quantify the effect of these inserts on selected knee …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to quantify changes in foot eversion and tibial
rotation during running resulting from systematic changes of material composition of five …

BACKGROUND: Orthotic devices are frequently prescribed as a conservative treatment of
lower extremity injury. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of orthotic …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate shoe sole material stiffness changes and angle
changes that are intended to reduce the peak knee adduction moment during walking …

Background Running shoes are designed to accommodate various arch types to reduce the
risk of lower extremity injuries sustained during running. Yet little is known about the …

The purpose of this pilot study of healthy subjects was to determine if changes in foot
pressure patterns associated with a lateral wedge can predict the changes in the knee …

The impact maximum and rearfoot eversion have been used as indicators of load on internal
structures in running. The midsole hardness of a typical running shoe was varied …

Objectives Previous studies comparing shoes based on the amount of midsole cushioning
have generally used shoes from multiple manufacturers, where factors outside of stack …

The purpose of the study was to assess the biomechanical effects of a functional knee brace
on joint moments of force and joint powers in the lower extremity during the stance phase of …

Objective: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), the most common running injury, has been
associated with increased internal knee abduction angular impulses (KAAI). Wedged …
