17th International Conference on Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering (ICBBE 2015)

open access: yes, 2015
Precise capture of plantar 3D surface of the foot at the loading gait phases on rigid substrates was found to be valuable for the assessment of the physiology, health and problems of the feet. Photogrammetry, a precision 3D spatial data capture technique

The Effect of Different Ankle Taping Methods on Joint Proprioception and Plantar Foot Impulse during Running in Athletes with Chronic Ankle Instability [PDF]

open access: yesمجله علوم پزشکی فیض (پیوسته)
Background and Aim: Chronic ankle instability is associated with impaired proprioception and altered plantar loading patterns. Ankle taping is a commonly used intervention for the prevention and rehabilitation of this condition and may affect ...

A new plantar axis for longitudinal study of gait characteristics

open access: yes, 2016
This investigation involved the testing of the suitability of a new plantar axis for the longitudinal study of older adult gait. The targeting involved fastening of small flat robber plugs on the foot sole to provide digital marking in plantar pressure ...

Basketball layup: Foot loading characteristics and the number of trials necessary to obtain stable plantar pressure variables

open access: yes, 2016
This study aimed (1) to profile the plantar loading characteristics when performing the basketball layup in a realistic setting, and (2) to determine the number of trials necessary to establish a stable mean for plantar loading variables during the layup.

The Effect of a Novel Achilles Brace on Concentric and Eccentric Achilles Tendon Loading During Tendon Tear Mechanisms

open access: yesLife
(1) Achilles tendon rupture is one of the most severe lower-limb injuries, frequently occurring during movements involving maximal dorsiflexion with the knee at near-full extension.

A biomechanical analysis of plantar fasciitis using digital fluoroscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Plantar fasciitis is the most common disorder of the foot and is characterised by pain involving the inferomedial aspect of the heel that is exacerbated by activity after periods of non-weightbearing. Despite an abundance of anecdotal evidence indicating

Distributions of plantar loads are altered when walking in anxiety-inducing virtual settings but not under cognitive demand.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
Additional cognitive load and fall-related anxiety alter balance and locomotor control, independent of motor demands. Exposing participants to virtual elevation increases perceived cost of falling, and individuals alter the distribution of medial and ...

Plantar fasciitis: are pain and fascial thickness associated with arch shape and loading?

open access: yes, 2007
Although plantar fascial thickening is a sonographic criterion for the diagnosis of plantar fasciitis, the effect of local loading and structural factors on fascial morphology are unknown.
