OBJECTIVE To determine whether a motion control running shoe reduces tibial rotation in the transverse plane during treadmill running. DESIGN An experimental study measuring tibial rotation in volunteer participants using a repeated measures design. SETTING Human Movement Laboratory, School of Health Professions, University of Brighton. PARTICIPANTS Twenty-four healthy participants were t...

Objectives: Foot and ankle problems are common complications in rheumatoid arthritis disease. Gait pattern such as normal foot and ankle rocker is impaired in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Rocker sole as an external shoe modification is commonly prescribed in this pathology. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of rocker shoe on vertical ground reaction force parameters dur...

BACKGROUND Pressure-related skin lesions on the digits are a significant cause of discomfort. Most foot pain related to ill-fitting shoes occurs in the forefoot and digital areas. Pain has been associated with poor shoe fit, reduced toe box volume, as well as contour and shape of the shoe Off-the-shelf medical-grade footwear is designed as an intervention for chronic lesions on the digits. Thes...

In this paper, a novel approach is made to discard the degradations in full shoe prints and partial shoe prints, in processing those images for recognition. A pass band DCT coefficient has been used to extract feature vectors. A more robust approach has been dealt with to find the matching between the partial shoe prints and the images in the data base. This method makes the shoe print recognit...

BACKGROUND Lunge is one frequently executed movement in badminton and involves a unique sagittal footstrike angle of more than 40 degrees at initial ground contact compared with other manoeuvres. This study examined if the shoe heel curvature design of a badminton shoe would influence shoe-ground kinematics, ground reaction forces, and knee moments during lunge. METHODS Eleven elite and fifte...

One of the main sources pollution in indoor environments is human walking-induced particle resuspension. In this work, airflow and resuspension particles smaller than 1 ?m generated by foot tapping were investigated numerically using ANSYS CFX software. The k-? shear stress transport model was considered to simulate unsteady field around under shoe. immersed solid method then used incorporate s...

In this study, the relation between lateralization and foot-size according to sex was investigated in 12-18 age gruops, including each sample taken from group, totally 7000 students selected ıniddle high schools Gaziantep. these subjects is classified write with hand foot size shoe used at school. Briefly, it can be said that; there isn't important handedness size, (p>0.05). But largely rela...
