“…There is evidence that greater knee adduction moments are associated with higher medial load distributions within the knee joint [39] which may result in the progression of osteoarthritis. Previously, we were able to show that measures of joint mechanical power discriminate between healthy and pathological gait patterns [40]. In this regard, we observed that positive joint power is associated with high joint loads [40], while negative joint power is associated with shock absorption and load dissipation [40].…”

Physical fatigue and pronated feet constitute two risk factors for running-related lower limb injuries. Accordingly, different running shoe companies designed anti-pronation shoes with medial support to limit over pronation in runners. However, there is little evidence on the effectiveness and clinical relevance of anti-pronation shoes. This study examined lower limb kinematics and kinetics in young female runners with pronated feet during running with anti-pronation versus regular (neutral) running shoes in unfatigued and fatigued condition. Twenty-six female runners aged 24.1±5.6 years with pronated feet volunteered to participate in this study. Kinetic (3D Kistler force plate) and kinematic analyses (Vicon motion analysis system) were conducted to record participants’ ground reaction forces and joint kinematics when running with anti-pronation compared with neutral running shoes. Physical fatigue was induced through an individualized submaximal running protocol on a motorized treadmill using rate of perceived exertion and heart rate monitoring. The statistical analyses indicated significant main effects of “footwear” for peak ankle inversion, peak ankle eversion, and peak hip internal rotation angles (p<0.03; d = 0.46–0.95). Pair-wise comparisons revealed a significantly greater peak ankle inversion angle (p<0.03; d = 0.95; 2.70°) and smaller peak eversion angle (p<0.03; d = 0.46; 2.53°) when running with anti-pronation shoes compared with neutral shoes. For kinetic data, significant main effects of “footwear” were found for peak ankle dorsiflexor moment, peak knee extensor moment, peak hip flexor moment, peak hip extensor moment, peak hip abductor moment, and peak hip internal rotator moment (p<0.02; d = 1.00–1.79). For peak positive hip power in sagittal and frontal planes and peak negative hip power in horizontal plane, we observed significant main effects of “footwear” (p<0.03; d = 0.92–1.06). Pairwise comparisons revealed that peak positive hip power in sagittal plane (p<0.03; d = 0.98; 2.39 w/kg), peak positive hip power in frontal plane (p = 0.014; d = 1.06; 0.54 w/kg), and peak negative hip power in horizontal plane (p<0.03; d = 0.92; 0.43 w/kg) were greater with anti-pronation shoes. Furthermore, the statistical analyses indicated significant main effects of “Fatigue” for peak ankle inversion, peak ankle eversion, and peak knee external rotation angles. Pair-wise comparisons revealed a fatigue-induced decrease in peak ankle inversion angle (p<0.01; d = 1.23; 2.69°) and a fatigue-induced increase in peak knee external rotation angle (p<0.05; d = 0.83; 5.40°). In addition, a fatigue-related increase was found for peak ankle eversion (p<0.01; d = 1.24; 2.67°). For kinetic data, we observed a significant main effect of “Fatigue” for knee flexor moment, knee internal rotator moment, and hip extensor moment (p<0.05; d = 0.83–1.01). The statistical analyses indicated significant a main effect of “Fatigue” for peak negative ankle power in sagittal plane (p<0.01; d = 1.25). Finally, we could not detect a...

“…Recently, it has been reported that taping methods can influence the potential of muscle force. However, many reports have not achieved a clear conclusion of how to increase muscle force by using taping methods [8][9][10]. If the taping increases the muscle force, it should also have effect on a position of the joints during sports activities.…”

Osgood-Schlatter disease is the most common type of knee joint injury among adolescent male soccer players. To clarify the cause of Osgood-Schlatter disease in adolescent soccer players, we previously measured the position of the center of gravity during the kicking motion. It was revealed that the center of gravity during the kicking motion was backward in soccer players who developed Osgood-Schlatter disease. The purpose of the present study was to develop a taping method (prevention tape) to prevent backward center of gravity during the kicking motion and therefore to prevent the onset of Osgood-Schlatter disease. The participants recruited for this study were 36 boys from two soccer teams of an elementary school, with a mean age of 10.2 ± 0.4 years. The three-dimensional coordinates of the markers were calculated using a three-dimensional video motion analysis system. The center of gravity was measured by Yokoi's method, using body part coefficients. A net was set up 3m away from the ball and 1m above the ground in order to measure the kicking motion. When applying the prevention tape, the patella was pulled downward by the traction force of the tape. We investigated the difference in the position of the center of gravity during kicking motion with or without prevention tape. In adolescent soccer players with prevention tape during the kicking motion, center of gravity changed to be significantly more forward than that in players without prevention tape.
