Evaluating the Foot Touch Framework Model

Completed

• Conditions: Barefoot Running

• Registration Number: NCT04699019
• Lead Sponsor: Orthocare Innovations, LLC

Brief Summary

A Foot Touch framework model has been developed to express the ground reaction force waveforms observed for walking and running. The purpose of this research is to collect ground reaction force data during walking and running that can be used to evaluate and verify the Foot Touch framework.
