The effect of surface type on plantar pressure distribution and running kinematics

Creator:

Killgore, Garry L.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine pressure at five selected sites on the plantar surface of the foot and adaptations in running kinematics among fourteen male varsity collegiate distance runners on five different surfaces--asphalt, cinders, concrete, grass, and tartan. Pressure data were collected with an Electrodynogram system (EDG)...
