Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...
Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella01:16

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the neck...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Foot orthoses impact lower extremity movement during vertical jumps. Over-the-counter orthoses reduced hip internal rotation, while custom orthoses decreased tibial internal rotation in active females.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Orthotics and Prosthetics
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • Foot orthoses are commonly used to manage lower extremity conditions.
  • Their biomechanical effects during functional activities like vertical jumping require further investigation.
  • Understanding these effects is crucial for optimizing athletic performance and injury prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the biomechanical effects of over-the-counter (OTC) and custom-made foot orthoses on lower extremity transverse plane motion during the landing phase of a vertical jump.
  • To compare the effects of two types of foot orthoses against no orthoses.

Main Methods:

  • Twelve active, college-aged females participated in the study.
  • A three-dimensional motion analysis system captured tibial, knee, and hip kinematics during vertical jumps.
  • Participants performed jumps with no orthoses, OTC orthoses, and custom-made orthoses.

Main Results:

  • Over-the-counter orthoses significantly reduced hip internal rotation compared to no orthoses (p < .05).
  • Custom-made orthoses significantly reduced tibial internal rotation compared to no orthoses (p < .05).
  • No significant differences were found in knee transverse plane motion between conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Foot orthoses can alter lower extremity transverse plane mechanics during vertical jump landings.
  • OTC orthoses appear to influence hip motion, while custom orthoses may affect tibial motion.
  • These findings suggest that the type of foot orthosis may differentially impact biomechanics, with implications for footwear design and clinical application.
