    Motion control shoe affects temporal activity of quadriceps in runners

  2. Anyone able to email me a copy of this one ?

    From reading the short amount written here....... And if we forget about the 6 degrees of pronation bit ( thats the big elephant sitting in the corner), is this another study which helps show the neurological response to stiffness?

    The motion control shoe will compress less ie be more stiff ?

    Michael,

    I have a subscription to this journal, but the website appears to be down at the moment. I will try again later tonight and post it up here once I've got an electronic copy.

  4. Interesting. In theory the motion control shoe should be stiffer in the medial aspect than the lateral aspect of the mid-sole. The nature of this depends on the shoes they used in the study. However, I suspect from reading the abstract that we will not be able to draw definitive conclusions regarding stiffness from this study. The higher density foam on the medial portion of the shoe usually results in a heavier shoe, it's possible that the results may be explained by this factor too. Some shoes, e.g. the Saucony Stabil attempt to use modification in the upper in addition to the mid-sole to "control" the foot. The EMG activity may have changed for a number of reasons; surface stiffness being only one of them, but interesting none-the-less.
     
  5. That would be great Ian. Thanks
