Abstract
To investigate ground reaction forces (GRF) and ankle joint involvement between a second generation unstable shoe and control shoe. Fourteen healthy males (45.4 + or - 8.4 yrs) participated in the study. A nine-camera motion capture system (240 Hz) and a force platform (1200 Hz) were used to obtain the three-dimensional (3D) stance phase kinematic and GRF data, respectively. The results showed that loading rate of the first peak vertical GRF was greater in SH2 (10.33 vs 9.50 BW/s; p = 0.024), second peak vertical GRF was smaller in SH2 (1.16 vs 1.19 BW; p = 0.001), and braking peak GRF was greater in SH2 (0.27 vs 0.25 BW; p = 0.001) than SH1.
