Different Design Feature Combinations of Flatfoot Orthosis on Plantar Fascia Strain and Plantar Pressure: A Muscle-Driven Finite Element Analysis With Taguchi Method

Yinghu Peng et al.

Summary: This study investigated the biomechanical effects of different combinations of foot orthoses design features on foot mechanics. The results showed that higher arch support and medial inclination angle effectively reduced peak plantar pressure, while arch support and material stiffness had a strong influence on proximal plantar fascia strain. The proposed finite element flatfoot model could assist insole optimization and evaluation for individuals with flatfoot.

Energetics and Biomechanics of Running Footwear with Increased Longitudinal Bending Stiffness: A Narrative Review

Justin A. Ortega et al.

Summary: Studies on the effects of increased longitudinal bending stiffness on running economy report mixed results, ranging from 3% deterioration to 3% improvement. Carbon-fiber plates have the largest impact on metatarsal-phalangeal and ankle joint mechanics. Plate location and geometry affect joint moments and angular velocities differently, which partly explains the mixed running economy results.

Effect of the Construction of Carbon Fiber Plate Insert to Midsole on Running Performance

Fengqin Fu et al.

Summary: The study investigated the independent effect of forefoot carbon-fiber plate construction on running biomechanics and finite element simulation in marathon runners. Results showed that changing from a full to segmented carbon fiber plate induced biomechanical changes but did not significantly affect running performance. Manufacturers can benefit by reducing peak pressure on the midsole through altering the carbon plate structure.
