Prophylactic ankle stabilizers affect ankle joint kinematics during drop landings
Article Abstract:
Some ankle stabilizers interfere with ankle joint kinematics during drop landing. A video-taped comparison of no stabilizer, three different commercial stabilizers, and tape indicates that ankle stabilizers typically restrict the range of motion in the joint and the needed flexion upon landing. Jumping and landing on both feet requires a certain kinematic interplay rather than rigid protection around the ankle.

Kinematic adaptations during running: effects of footwear, surface, and duration
Article Abstract:
The main aim of the study was to investigate how midsole hardness, surface stiffness, and running duration influence running kinematics. It was observed that lower-extremity kinematics adapted to changing conditions during running but these appear to be at the expense of increased exposure to impact shock.

The effect of comments about shoe construction on impact forces during walking
Article Abstract:
Most people do not alter their gait based on the perceived construction of a shoe. This was the conclusion of researchers who deliberately misled 9 college students about the construction of shoes the students were testing, but not another group of 10 students under the same conditions.
