Doctor invents new athletic footwear to reduce injuries The Daily Progress Share
The deceptively simple-looking carbon-fiber widget represents American ingenuity, altruistic values and entrepreneurial grit. The small, tong-shaped device also may prove to be one of the most important innovations in footwear since leather laces. Dr. Casey Kerrigan, former chair of the University of Virginia's Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, is the inventor of the patented object she hopes will revolutionize how shoes are made. More Plantar fasciitis: A new take on custom orthoses Lower Extremity Review Share

More  Forefoot plantar pressure reduction of off-the-shelf rocker bottom provisional footwear Clinical Biomechanics Share
Increased plantar pressures have been shown to be a risk factor in ulceration of the neuropathic foot. Prescriptive footwear is a common medical treatment, yet evidence regarding the efficacy of these prescriptions is underdeveloped. The purpose of this study is to determine the off-loading properties of four provisional shoes; a rocker sole compared to a flat sole shoe with and without the addition of a 1.25 cm plastizote insert.
