The Effecte of foot orthosis on electromyographic activity of ankle muscles in athletes with flat foot during single leg jump landing [PDF]

open access: yesSport Sciences and Health Research, 2018
Flat foot transfers a chain effect on the joints and upper segments and leads to disruption of kinetic chain.. Researches suggest that the use of foot orthoses may change muscle activation patterns of people with flat foot during walking and running ...

Kinematics at the ankle joint complex in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
This thesis investigates the three-dimensional kinematics at the ankle joint complex in rheumatoid arthritis. Previous studies have identified the rearfoot as a common site for inflammatory activity in rheumatoid arthritis resulting in painful and ...

Research and Development of Ankle–Foot Orthoses: A Review

open access: yesSensors, 2022
The ankle joint is one of the important joints of the human body to maintain the ability to walk. Diseases such as stroke and ankle osteoarthritis could weaken the body’s ability to control joints, causing people’s gait to be out of balance.

Use of stance control knee-ankle-foot orthoses : a review of the literature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The use of stance control orthotic knee joints are becoming increasingly popular as unlike locked knee-ankle-foot orthoses, these joints allow the limb to swing freely in swing phase while providing stance phase stability, thus aiming to promote a more ...

Effect of textured foot orthoses on frequency spectrum of lower extremity muscles, stance time and comfort in individuals over age of 55 years during walking

open access: yesمجله دانشگاه علوم پزشکی گرگان, 2021
Background and Objective: Proprioceptors of the plantar surfaces of the foot have less efficiency and the stimulation and reinforcement of them may be lead to reduction of falling risk.

A sock for foot-drop: A preliminary study on two chronic stroke patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Foot-drop is a common motor impairment of chronic stroke patients, which may be addressed with an ankle foot orthosis. Although there is reasonable evidence of effectiveness for ankle foot orthoses, user compliance is sometimes poor.

Effect of long-term use of ankle-foot orthoses on tibialis anterior muscle electromyography in patients with sub-acute stroke: A randomized controlled trial

open access: yesJournal of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2018
Objective: To determine: (i) whether the use of ankle-foot orthoses over a period of 26 weeks affects tibialis anterior muscle activity; (ii) whether the timing of provision of ankle-foot orthoses (early or delayed) affects the results; (iii) whether the

The long-term use of foot orthoses affects walking kinematics and kinetics of children with flexible flat feet: A randomized controlled trial. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
BACKGROUND:Due to inconclusive evidence on the effects of foot orthoses treatment on lower limb kinematics and kinetics in children, studies are needed that particularly evaluate the long-term use of foot orthoses on lower limb alignment during walking ...

The Effects of Foot Orthoses and Shoes on the Biomechanics of the Lower Limbs and Balance in Individuals with Pronated Feet: A Review Study [PDF]

open access: yesمجله دانشگاه علوم پزشکی گرگان, 2023
Foot pronation, as one of the prevalent foot abnormalities, can influence the biomechanics of the lower limbs. The use of various foot orthoses, including insoles and braces, is very common in eliminating this problem.
