'Metatarsalgia'
If any member of Bartold Biomechanics is still using this term, I shall expel you with the ceremonial ripping off of the epaulettes! Well.. not really, but this video explains why this term is a dead duck.

Just up in the 'resources" area, a brand new video discussing one of my all time least favourite terms.. metatarsalgia. We take a look at why you should never use this term, what you might be dealing with, and what youu can do about it!
Read article...Influence of foot orthosis customisation on perceived comfort during running
The perceived level of comfort of footwear is considered to be a protective measure of the potential risk of running injuries. This study compared runners' perception of comfort of custom-made and prefabricated orthoses while running. It found that even though custom-made orthoses are closely matched to each individual's foot, such customisation does not necessarily imply greater comfort.

Read article...Proprioception vs mechanocreception: implications for orthoses and footwear
This powerpoint presentation takes you through the complex world of proprioception and mechanoreception, the organs responsible and the differences between them. It then poses some fascinating questions about how these two senses might change the way you look at orthosis and footwear design!
