Although the role of shoe constructions on running injury and performance has been widely
investigated, systematic reviews on the shoe construction effects on running biomechanics …

The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the literature pertaining to the effect of foot
posture, foot orthoses and footwear on lower limb muscle activity during walking and …

Background While minimalist running shoes may have an influence on running
biomechanics and on the incidence of overuse injuries, the term" minimalist" is currently …

This study tested the hypotheses that when the excitation frequency of mechanical stimuli to
the foot was close to the natural frequency of the soft tissues of the lower extremity, the …

The foot provides an important source of afferent feedback for balance and locomotion.
Sensory feedback from the feet can be altered by standing or walking on different surfaces …

Several complications due to flatfeet have been reported in previous literature such as poor
postural stability, injuries, pathologies, and discomfort. Early detection and appropriate …

The mDurance® system is an innovative digital tool that combines wearable surface
electromyography (sEMG), mobile computing and cloud analysis to streamline and …

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the kinetics, kinematics and muscle
activity in runners with Achilles tendinopathy. Design: Case–control study. Setting …

Muscle activity has previously been suggested to minimize soft-tissue resonance which
occurs at heel-strike during walking and running. If this concept were true then the greatest …

Based on results from quasi-static experiments, it has been suggested that the lower
extremity muscle activity is adjusted in reaction to impact forces with the goal of minimizing …
