Introduction: Investigating the risk factors during single crossover landing in people with flat foot complication is unknown. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to compare the ground reaction forces and the amount of load introduced during crossover landing in people with flat foot and healthy individuals.   Methods: The study method is descriptive-comparative. Twelve male subjects w...

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament injury is one of the most common injuries of the knee joint and prevention of this injury is of great importance(1). Considering that ground reaction forces are one of the load factors on the anterior cruciate ligament, Despite much research in this field to prevent ACL injury, the prevalence of this injury is still high(2). For example, previous studies h...

Introduction: Most of the functional disorders in the foot are created by changes in the arch of the foot. The motion control shoes are designed to control the excessive rear foot motions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of long-term use of motion control shoe on the ground reaction force components in individuals with functional pronated feet during running. Methods: The prese...

 Aims and background:  The aim of this study was to determine the effects of isolated and combined use of valgus knee braces and lateral wedge foot orthotics on the frequency spectrum of ground reaction forces generated in the knee by the gait of patients with knee osteoarthritis. Materials and methods: 24 males (age: 62.1 ± 2.0 years( with varus knee malalignment and symptomatic medial compart...

Background & Aim: Genu varum is one of the most common abnormalities of the knee joint in which the inner condyles of the femur move away from each other. The aim of the present study was to compare efficiency of exercise on the treadmill and ground on the ground reaction forces during walking in people with genu varum. Material & Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental and laborat...

Objectives: Genu Varum deformity is known as a factor disrupting gravity line and force patterns in lower limb and may make the individual more exposed to lower extremity injuries especially in repeated activities like running. The aim of this study was to investigate Ground Reaction Forces in subjects with and without genu varum deformity during running. Methods: Thirty active men were divide...

Background and Objectives: Gait asymmetry is a useful index that can provide an important role in clinical treatment. Since the link between asymmetry index of gait ground reaction force frequency content and hearing loss is not well evaluated, the aim of this study was to compare the asymmetry index of gait ground reaction force frequency spectrum in deaf and hearing male children of Hamedan c...
