Background Ankle proprioception plays a critical role in lower limb movement control.
However, the relationship between ankle proprioception and fear of falling (FOF) in older …

Background For people above 65 years old, low-back pain (LBP) is associated with balance
problems and falls. Down-weighting of proprioception due to ageing and LBP may cause …

Proprioception is essential for neuromuscular control in relation to sport injury and

Aims To examine the relationship between ankle proprioception and the ability to maintain
balance with increased magnitudes of unexpected perturbations; and to compare the …

Humans rely on precise proprioceptive feedback from our muscles, which is important in
both the acquisition and execution of movements, to perform daily activities. Somatosensory …

Static and dynamic balance can be influenced by many factors. However, there is limited
evidence regarding the effects that shoe sole hardness may have on balance. The aim of …

Influence of footwear on posture in athletes is poorly documented despite its potential impact
on biomechanics and injury risk. The aim of this study was to investigate effects of different …

The global foot orthotic industry was estimated around $3 billion in 2017. Biomechanists and
