Abstract
The aim of the current investigation was to examine the effects of orthoses with a 5°
medial and lateral wedge on knee and ankle joint kinetics in female runners.
Twelve healthy female runners ran at 3.5 m/s over a force platform in three
conditions (medial, lateral and no-orthotic). Lower extremity kinematics were
measured using an 8-camera motion capture system, which allowed knee and ankle loading to be explored using a musculoskeletal modelling approach. The peak
Achilles tendon force was significantly larger in the no-orthotic condition
(5.34 BW) compared to the lateral orthosis (5.03 BW). The peak patellofemoral
stress was significantly larger in the medial orthosis (7.32 MPa) compared to
the no-orthotic (7.02 MPa) condition. Finally, the peak knee adduction moment
was significantly larger in the medial condition (1.14 Nm/kg) compared to the
lateral (0.99 Nm/kg) orthosis. The findings from the current investigation
indicate that lateral orthoses may be effective in attenuating risk of medial
tibiofemoral osteoarthritis and Achilles tendinopathy, but medial wedge
orthoses may increase the risk of patellofemoral pain in female runners.
期刊介绍:
Kinesiology – International Journal of Fundamental and Applied Kinesiology (print ISSN 1331- 1441, online ISSN 1848-638X) publishes twice a year scientific papers and other written material from kinesiology (a scientific discipline which investigates art and science of human movement; in the meaning and scope close to the idiom “sport sciences”) and other adjacent human sciences focused on sport and exercise, primarily from anthropology (biological and cultural alike), medicine, sociology, psychology, natural sciences and mathematics applied to sport in its broadest sense, history, and others. Contributions of high scientific interest, including also results of theoretical analyses and their practical application in physical education, sport, physical recreation and kinesitherapy, are accepted for publication. The following sections define the scope of the journal: Sport and sports activities, Physical education, Recreation/leisure, Kinesiological anthropology, Training methods, Biology of sport and exercise, Sports medicine and physiology of sport, Biomechanics, History of sport and Book reviews with news.
