Segmented Forefoot Plate in Basketball Footwear: Does it Influence Performance and Foot Joint Kinematics and Kinetics?

“…fifth metatarsal diaphysis), which is one of the recurrent stress fractures in basketball that is difficult to treat. 14,15 Thus, it is of interest to consider if inserting a plate in the medial region of the forefoot alone would be equally effective to improve athletic performance.…”

Shoe-stiffening inserts for first metatarsophalangeal joint osteoarthritis: a randomised trial

“…The shoe-stiffening insert group were more likely to report new onset foot pain (other than first MTP joint pain) during the first 12 weeks, and 3 participants withdrew from the trial for this reason. In our pilot study 8 , we found that 13% of participants developed new onset foot pain while wearing the shoestiffening insert, which we attributed to the stiffness of the inserts leading to an increase in weight-bearing pressure under the foot 40 . However, it is also possible that the shoe-stiffening inserts created problems with shoe fit, leading to foot pain in some participants.…”

Gender Differences in Plantar Loading During an Unanticipated Side Cut on FieldTurf

“…Significant differences in forefoot loading have been previously reported based on the footwear worn during both cross and side cutting as well as during jumping and landing. 14,[19][20][21] These studies highlight the importance of considering footwear when determining injury risk patterns in athletic populations.…”
