Footwear Characteristics and Their Impact on Gait and Balance in Older Adults: A Systematic Review of Recent Evidence

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Improper footwear has been identified as a modifiable risk factor for falls in older adults. Studies suggest that certain footwear characteristics can impair gait and balance, thereby increasing the risk of falls. However, the impact of footwear on gait and balance control may vary across research protocols.

Cushioned Insoles for First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Osteoarthritis: Protocol for the SOLE Randomised Controlled Trial

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction First metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint osteoarthritis (OA) is a common and disabling condition that causes substantial pain and impairs quality of life. Cushioned insoles have the potential to lower plantar pressures beneath the hallux and possibly reduce pain, but their clinical effectiveness has not been investigated.

Compensatory Effects of Joint Bracing From a Kinetic Chain Perspective: Lower Limb Movement Coordination Analysis During Badminton Lunge Movements

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigated ankle, knee, and hip joint movement coordination during brace use via a lower‐limb kinematic chain approach, which may influence biomechanical factors associated with injury risk. Twenty badminton players performed a left forecourt kick lunge under four brace conditions. Kinematic and kinetic data were collected using a
