Introduction: Shoe insoles are widely recommended to increase sport shoes comfort during running. However, relationship between ground reaction force frequency and perceived comfort is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between ground reaction force frequency changes and perceived comfort during stance phase of running. Methods: 30 female students (mean...

Objective: in normal walking, repetitive vertical ground reaction forces are tansformed on musculo-skeletal system. Magnitude of force during impact is major contributor to overuse injuries. Purpose of this study was the evaluate to effect of standard and beveled heel at orthopedic shoe on vertical ground reaction forces during walking in healthy subjects. Materials & Methods: 30 healthy adu...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare vertical ground reaction force during forward and backward walking among the male professional Karatekas with genu varum and normal knee. Methods: 20 professional male Karates (in genu varum and normal groups) participated in this semi-experimental study. The vertical ground reaction force was measured using force plate system during forward ...
