A systematic review of the effect of footwear, foot orthoses and taping on lower limb muscle activity during walking and running (2019)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: External devices are used to manage musculoskeletal pathologies by altering loading of the foot, which could result in altered muscle activity that could have therapeutic benefits. OBJECTIVES: To establish if evidence exists that footwear...
