“…4,12 The symmetry index has been used along with the assessment of functional asymmetry in gait kinematic and kinetic parameters, ground reaction force of gait and running. [13][14][15][16][17] This index defined by Robinson et al has been widely used to quantify symmetry and it has been found to be cheap, useful, and easily applicable and results are presented clearly.…”

A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : The aim of this study was to investigate differences in plantar pressure characteristics between preferred and non-preferred foot in elite taekwondo athletes. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : The study population consisted of 11 elite taekwondo athletes ages ranged between 19.16±2.72 years. To determine preferred foot, they were also asked which leg they preferred to kick a ball. Plantar pressure distributions were measured by pedobarography device. The relative pressure-loads (%) between preferred and non-preferred foot determined with static pedobarographic measurements while subject stand on the pressure plate. The dynamic pedobarographic measurements were performed to investigate plantar pressure distribution, temporal characteristics and peak pressure asymmetry between preferred and non-preferred foot. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : There was no statistically difference between preferred and non-preferred foot with regard to static measurement results. No significant differences were found between foots for temporal characteristics and peak pressure underneath the ten anatomical areas. The absolute impulse underneath the second metatarsal was significantly higher at preferred foot while absolute impulse of lateral heel was higher at non-preferred foot. The relative impulse of second metatarsal and third metatarsal were also significantly higher at preferred foot. Peak pressure asymmetry was found in favor to non-preferred foot. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : The finding of present study indicates that the peak pressure beneath the preferred and non-preferred foot is not symmetrical. Peak pressure asymmetry finding indicates that preferred and non-preferred foot should be assessed and trained separately to prevent sports injury in taekwondo.K Ke ey yw wo or rd ds s: : Foot symmetry; plantar pressure; symmetry index; taekwondo Ö ÖZ ZE ET T A Am ma aç ç: : Bu çalışmanın amacı elit tekvando sporcularında tercih edilen ve edilmeyen ayaktaki plantar basınç karakteristiklerinin farklılıklarını araştırmaktır.

Tercih edilen ve edilmeyen ayağa olan basınç yüklenmesi (%) birey platform üzerinde statik olarak ayakta dururken belirlendi. Tercih edilen ve edilmeyen ayaktaki plantar basınç dağılımı, temporal karakteristikler ve pik basınç asimetrisini araştırmak için dinamik pedobarografik ölçümler gerçekleştirildi.

“…In addition, numerous randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have investigated the clinical effects of valgus bracing on improving pain and function outcomes among persons with symptomatic knee OA 3 5–15. While the findings have generally been supportive, several study design limitations, including the studies being uncontrolled5–10 and/or underpowered,11–15 have called the results of these few RCTs into question 16 17…”

“…Studies of patients treated with a load-shifting brace have demonstrated pain relief, functional improvement, gait improvement, improvement in knee scores, and improvement in the adduction moment across the knee [1][2][3]. Fluoroscopic analysis of these patients during walking has also revealed separation of the condyles on the unloaded side during heal-strike phase of gait [4].…”

Abstract-Objectives in treating primarily unicompartmental knee arthritis with a load-shifting brace are pain relief, compliance, brace durability, and complication-free treatment over multiple years. This was a single institution retrospective chart review, radiograph review, and telephone survey of patients treated from 1997 to 1999 with a load-shifting knee brace. Forty-six patients (49 knees) with a minimum 2 1/2-year follow-up (average 3.3 years) were reviewed. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis revealed that load-shifting brace use had a survival of 76% at 1 year, 69% at 2 years, and 61% at 3 years. Younger patients had a higher likelihood of longer brace use than older patients. One patient had ipsilateral leg swelling and a pulmonary embolus after initiating bracing. Eliminating the high numbers of early failures would be desirable. One should be aware of the potential complication of venous thrombosis and thromboembolism.
