The Impact of Race on Plantar Loading and Research Engagement
… ulcers. Foot ulcers are often caused by high plantar pressure, and several factors can impact plantar loading. Thus, there is a need to determine if race is a significant predictor of plantar loading. Additionally, with the current state of racial health disparities there is a need to …

Exploring the Effect of Ankle Braces on Foot Posture
… characteristic that can affect kinematics, plantar loading, and injury risk. Arch height is one common aspect of foot posture, and it is estimated that about 60% of the population has normal arches while 40% of the population is either pes planus or pes cavus. It is important to be able to …

The Impact of Lower Limb Dominance on Side-to-Side Symmetry in Daily Living and Sports-related Tasks
… loadsol® sensors (Novel, St. Paul, MN, USA), plantar loading data such as peak impact force and loading rate was calculated. Participants completed one sit-to-stand trial and three 10-meter walking trials, as these serve as prime examples of daily activities. The secondary purpose of this …

The effect of an exercise intervention on peripheral sensorimotor function in neuropathic diabetics
… leads to an increase in the risk of plantar ulceration due to traumatic or repetitive loading. The evidence for the effectiveness of an exercise intervention in improving sensorimotor function in this population is building, but care is needed when implementing these interventions due …
