Effect of a rocker non-heeled shoe on EMG and ground reaction forces during gait without previous training

Effect of a rocker non-heeled shoe on EMG and ground reaction forces during gait without previous training

Highlights ► Effect of 3 walking conditions on muscle activity was provided: MBT and standard shoes and barefoot. ► MBT shoe produced higher external forces than other conditions, especially at heel strike. ► Walking barefoot was more effective at enhancing muscle activation then using MBT shoe. ► T...

Description
Summary:Highlights ► Effect of 3 walking conditions on muscle activity was provided: MBT and standard shoes and barefoot. ► MBT shoe produced higher external forces than other conditions, especially at heel strike. ► Walking barefoot was more effective at enhancing muscle activation then using MBT shoe. ► There is no muscle advantage in wearing MBT over standard shoe without previous training.
