ABSTRACT Background In footwear science, the effect of specific design features on biomechanical parameters during common motor tasks is often confounded by simultaneous changes in other shoe conditions. This study proposes and assesses the repeatability of a new tool, namely the Modular Footwear Setup (MFS), to assess the effects of midsole ...

ABSTRACT Background Professional ballet dancers are exposed to substantial repetitive loading of the lower extremities particularly the feet. The aesthetic and technical demands of ballet may lead to morphological adaptations overtime. This study aimed to compare static and dynamic foot characteristics between professional dancers and active controls ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Children's developing musculoskeletal systems are highly sensitive to mechanical stimuli. This study investigated the effects of running shoe midsole hardness (MH) (soft midsole [SM], medium midsole [MM], and hard midsole [HM]) on lower‐limb biomechanics and muscle activation during the running stance phase in children.

Anatomy of the Lisfranc joint complex: An illustrated review with surgical approach
Abstract This manuscript presents a detailed anatomical review of the Lisfranc joint complex, which includes the tarsometatarsal joints, the intertarsal joints and the proximal intermetatarsal joints. From the bony anatomy to the ligamentous structures reaching the base of the second metatarsal and the surgical anatomy relevant to fix the joint complex,

Navicular and fifth metatarsal base stress fractures: An illustrated anatomical review
Abstract The navicular bone and the proximal fifth metatarsal (M5) play a vital role in maintaining the structural integrity and biomechanical stability of the foot's medial and lateral columns, respectively. Both bones' unique anatomical configuration, intricate mechanical environment and limited vascular supply make specific locations particularly ...

Gait Alterations Due to DCC Gene Variants in Individuals with Congenital Mirror Movements
Abstract Background Congenital Mirror Movement Syndrome (CMMS) involves involuntary movements on one side of the body while voluntary movements are performed on the other side. They disrupt left–right coordination and can be caused by a pathogenic variant in the DCC gene.
