NCT ID: NCT04971915 Completed - Footwear Clinical Trials

The Effect of Minimalist Footwear on the Anthropometric and Biomechanical Parameters of the Lower Limb and Foot

Start date: July 5, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study aims to determine whether 6months of wearing minimalist footwear causes changes in anthropometric parameters of the foot and the biomechanical parameters of the foot and lower limb.

NCT ID: NCT03867890 Completed - Sports Injury Clinical Trials

Relationship Between Footwear Consumer Behaviour and Lower Extremity Injuries

Start date: June 2012
Phase:
Study type: Observational

A prospective cohort study was set-up in leisure-time walkers and runners. Potential risk factors in consumer behaviour were obtained by means of a baseline questionnaire related to the acquisition of current walking or running shoes. Information on injuries sustained during a 24 week period after the baseline questionnaire was obtained in 104 runners and 104 walkers using a 2-weekly questionnaire.

NCT ID: NCT03379415 Completed - Clinical trials for Osteoarthritis, Knee

The Effect of Commercially Available Footwear Interventions in Meniscectomy Patients

MENI-FOOT
Start date: February 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Injuries to the meniscus are common in sport. A meniscectomy is often performed to manage symptoms associated with the meniscal injury. Following a meniscectomy individuals are highly likely to develop knee osteoarthritis (OA). Footwear interventions have demonstrated biomechanical changes during walking and running, in healthy and individuals with osteoarthritis. With the increased risk of developing OA associated with meniscectomy patients, understanding biomechanical changes with footwear when compared to healthy individuals, may provide a conservative approach to delaying or minimising the development of (OA). There is no current literature assessing the effect footwear has post meniscectomy, so this is a very novel approach and can yield important results for the management of future risks. Current evidence supports the use of footwear interventions aiming to minimise OA progression in older adults during walking. Yet, meniscectomy patients who have sustained an injury during sport are likely to continue to participate in sport following treatment in their usual footwear. Further evidence is required to better understand the effect of footwear interventions during dynamic movements often performed in sport. Previous studies have assessed customised footwear interventions, however these interventions are not representative of commercially available interventions that could be widely used by the general population. Therefore assessing commercially available footwear will give a more realistic approach to conservative treatment for meniscectomy patients. This project aims to examine biomechanical differences between commercially available footwear conditions in healthy individuals and individuals who have had a meniscal injury. Three-dimensional kinetic and kinematic measures will be assessed during five tasks (walking, running, 90 degrees side cut, single leg landing, and small knee bend squat), for different footwear conditions.

NCT ID: NCT02856360 Completed - Foot Clinical Trials

Changes in Footwear Comfort and Performance in High School Football Players

Start date: July 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objective of this proposal is to determine the effects of footwear stiffness on a large cohort of high school football players during a football season. The investigators expect that functional athlete groups will be developed, based on subject specific assessments (biomechanical, morphological, performance, comfort), and lead to important translational findings that may impact footwear modification and recommendation to a population of American football players. Two standard cleats will be randomized and provided during a season of high school football. Ratings of comfort, performance, and injury will be collected throughout the season.
