Abstract
This study examined ground reaction forces(GRFs) and bone stress differences between bionic running shoes (with foot-mimicking soles) and traditional shoes during running.Sixteen experienced male runners ran at 10, 12, and 14 km/h in both shoe types. Two-way ANOVA and SPM1d showed that bionic shoes had significantly lower peak propulsive but higher peak braking forces than traditional shoes.Bionic shoes also exhibited lower vertical forces in early stance and altered anterior-posterior forces patterns in late stance; finite element analysis indicated lower metatarsal stress in the bionic midsoles. These findings provide insights for designing footwear to prevent running injuries.
期刊介绍:
The primary aims of Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering are to provide a means of communicating the advances being made in the areas of biomechanics and biomedical engineering and to stimulate interest in the continually emerging computer based technologies which are being applied in these multidisciplinary subjects. Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering will also provide a focus for the importance of integrating the disciplines of engineering with medical technology and clinical expertise. Such integration will have a major impact on health care in the future.
