    This study reveals how foot supports alter force distribution during walking. Heel cups and taping reduce midfoot force duration, while arch supports shift forces laterally, aiding in treating common running injuries.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics
    • Sports Medicine
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Understanding foot biomechanics is crucial for diagnosing and treating running-related injuries.
    • Momentary force distribution under the foot influences gait and can be altered by orthotic devices.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of different foot interventions on the distribution of forces during gait.
    • To compare the impact of heel cups, medial arch supports, and low-dye taping on plantar pressure.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized cholesterol crystal force plate analysis and a computerized Kistler force platform.
    • Compared barefoot gait with gait using heel cups, medial arch supports, and low-dye taping.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Low-dye taping and heel cups significantly reduced midfoot force duration and medialized the instant center of forces.
  • Medial arch supports shifted the instant center of forces laterally without reducing arch force duration.

    • Conclusions:

    • Foot interventions like taping and heel cups can alter plantar force dynamics.
    • These findings provide clearer insights into the mechanisms behind treating conditions such as plantar fasciitis and shin splints.
