A comparison of forefoot stiffness in running and running shoe bending stiffness

Measurement procedures affect the interpretation of metatarsophalangeal joint function during accelerated sprinting

“…A three-segment foot model was used for the kinematic analysis with the forefoot segment defined similarly to Oleson et al (2005).…”

The impact of different footwear characteristics, of a ballet flat pump, on centre of pressure progression and perceived comfort

“…The subjects studied were not ailed by any restrictions in joint movement or did not express pain in the metatarsal joints therefore, when this observed normal range of toe flexion occurs a flexible soled shoe is more comfortable. This has been alluded to previously when the shoe has been shown to work with the flexibility and range of motion available in the metatarsophalangeal joints at toe off [26] and when a reduced amount of motion is observed, as in hallux limitus, using a stiffer sole shoe facilitates a relationship between shoe and foot reducing pain associated with pathology. Assessment and advice regarding footwear choice should reflect the individual's metatarsal range of motion when discussing the stiffness of the sole unit.…”

“…The cantilever bending stiffness was measured as described by Oleson et al [26]. Four pairs of shoes (eight samples in total) were tested for each shoe style.…”

“…During the last load cycle the displacement of the piston and the applied force were recorded at 100 Hz and utilised to calculate the value of bending angle and bending moment [26]. After the completion of the tests the initial stiffness (i.e.…”
