“…The Vicon Plug-inGait marker set was used to generate kinematic and kinetic data. In addition medial ankle and knee markers were used during the standing trial to improve the reliability of ankle, knee and hip joint angles as well as joint moments (Stief et al, 2009). Ground reaction forces were recorded using a Kistler 9281 force plate 60 Â 90 cm 2 (Kistler, Winterthur, Switzerland) sampled at 960 Hz.…”

“…The medial femoral condyle marker was removed for the dynamic trials and the offset from the lateral femoral condyle collected during the static trial was used to recalculate its position. It has been shown that adding these few extra markers to the standard Helen Hayes marker set reduces the measurement error of frontal knee angles and moments [22] and enables to detect significant effects in the tibiofemoral angles and moments in the frontal and transverse plane between three different patterns of movement [23].…”

“…We used a customized full-body Vicon Plug-in-Gait marker set (PiG-Vicon Motion Systems, Oxford, UK) with 74 light-reflective 1 cm markers and cluster markers on the femur, shank, upper arm, and forearm. During the static trial, additional calibration markers were attached to the medial aspects of the ankle, knee, elbow, and wrist joints to enhance the reliability of the joint angle data [21].…”

Influence of circumferential ankle pressure of shoe collar on the kinematics, dynamic stability, electromyography, and plantar pressure during normal walking

Background The shoe’s collar plays a significant role in supporting the ankle during walking. Since the protective effect of the collar requires the circular embracing of the ankle and shank, a stiffer collar might be involved with increased circumferential ankle pressure (CAP). It is not clear how collar CAP affects walking performance. Therefore, this study was aimed at examining the influence of the collar CAP on the kinematics, dynamic stability, electromyography (EMG), and plantar pressure during normal walking. Method Sixteen healthy male participants walked on a treadmill while wearing a custom-designed high-collar shoe with 10 (low), 30 (medium), and 60 mmHg (high) CAP conditions, and the joint angles, dynamic stability index, EMG, and plantar pressure were measured. Result While the low CAP condition did not affect the ankle range of motion (ROM), The high CAP condition restricted both the ankle sagittal and frontal ROM, whereas the medium CAP condition limited only the ankle frontal ROM. The knee and hip ROM did not differ between conditions. The dynamic stability for the high and medium CAP cases was comparable but significantly higher than that of the low CAP condition. The ankle muscle activity and corresponding co-contraction increased with increasing CAP for gastrocnemius medialis (GM), soleus (SOL), peroneus longus (PL), tibialis anterior (TA) muscles in the weight acceptance and push-off phases but not in the single limb support. Knee muscle activity, including vastus lateralis (VL) and semitendinosus (SEMI) was similar between all conditions. A higher relative pressure was observed under the lateral aspect of the heel when walking in the high CAP condition. Conclusion The results suggest that a high-collar shoe with a high CAP may not be an appropriate choice for walking owing to the injury risk factors and limited walking efficiency. A medium CAP is associated with certain advantages and, thus, a superior choice for high-collar shoe design.
