Effect of Shoe Inserts on Kinematics, Center of Pressure, and Leg Joint Moments during Running

Abstract

The results of this study showed that subject-specific reactions to the tested inserts were often not as expected. Additionally, reactions were not consistent between the subjects. This result suggests that the prescription of inserts and/or orthotics is a difficult task and that methods must be developed to test and assess these effects. Such methods, however, are not currently available.
