The Effect of Foot Supports on Ground Reaction Force Patterns

Abstract

dc:description

Forefoot deformities are the etiology of various pathomechanical conditions of the foot. A forefoot varus or valgus deformity can create changes in the ground reaction force patterns, causing increased stress to the anatomical structures of the foot. Foot supports reestablish proper alignment of the forefoot, resulting in a more typical ground reaction force pattern.
