Hello again,
My name is Aaron Fitzsimmons and I am a prosthetics
student at the Newington Certficate Program. I am
currently researching the topic of footwear as it
relates to the prosthetic foot. What I am interested
in exploring is what are the most important
biomechanical properties a shoe should have ( i.e.
energy return, shock absorption, ML stability, etc.).
However, I have been unable to locate much research
into which shoes (Nike, Reebok, Adidas, etc.) provide
these most important biomechanical properties. I have
located a few articles but no quantifiable data. My
main questions are, 1. What is the fundamental text
Pedorthotists use that guide how they build shoes? 2.
Have there been any studies done that analyze various
shoes biomechanically? I have searched the oandp.com
website incuding JPO and I have searched the
amputee-coalition.org including inMotion magazine.
Thank you for any help or resources in this area.
Sincerely,
Aaron Fitzsimmons OT, prosthetics student
