health-related problems. The long-term application of foot orthoses (FOs) may have the …

This study aimed to investigate the effects of eight weeks of barefoot running exercise on
sand versus control on measures of walking kinetics and muscle activities in individuals with …

Background Running on sand could be a promising exercise intervention for the treatment of
over-pronated feet. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the effects of running on …

Background Social isolation through quarantine represents an effective means to prevent

Background Running on different surfaces, including natural and artificial surfaces, requires
different gait mechanics, especially in individuals with foot deformity. Research question …

Our current understanding of human gait is mostly based on studies using hard, level
surfaces in a laboratory environment. However, humans navigate a wide range of different …

Background This double-blinded randomized-controlled-trial aimed to identify the effects of
an elastic band resistance training on walking kinetics and muscle activities in young adults …

Introduction Canine agility competitions are performed on a variety of surfaces. In the equine
and human literature, surface type has been associated with speed, performance, and injury …

Background Running on sand could be a method for the rehabilitation of individuals with
anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and pronated feet. However, there is a lack of …

Efficient, adaptive, locomotor function is critically important for maintaining our health and
