Footwear intervene of forefoot loading during landing movement

Abstract

This study investigated the forefoot loading character under flexible sole condition while performing landing maneuver. Twenty healthy male volunteers have participated in the test. The insole and outsole loading were measured at the same time. The results of this study shown that the forefoot impact loading could be effectively relieved through the footwear during landing movement. The peak pressure value in the outsole was much higher than the barefoot, where the highest value in the first metatarsal of outsole was 63.6% higher than barefoot condition. Peak pressure of the third metatarsal of insole reduced the most, this has decreased about 51.2% of the barefoot experienced.
