Saving limbs in the time of COVID

Podiatry Management

As of June 27, more than 10 million people worldwide have been infected with the novel COVID-19 virus and over 499,000 deaths have resulted from this pandemic. Strict quarantine and safer-at-home orders were designed to “flatten the curve” to limit the number of infections in the U.S. and prevent healthcare systems from becoming overwhelmed.

The biomechanics of competitive male runners in 3 marathon racing shoes: A randomized crossover study

Sports Medicine

We have shown that a prototype marathon racing shoe reduced the metabolic cost of running for all 18 participants in our sample by an average of 4%, compared to two well-established racing shoes. Gross measures of biomechanics showed minor differences and could not explain the metabolic savings.

Accuracy of sonography in plantar plate tears in cadavers

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine

Sonography is often used in the evaluation of forefoot disorders, and its use has been suggested in the diagnosis of plantar plate tears. This study aimed to assess the accuracy of sonography in the diagnosis of plantar plate tears of the lesser digits using gross dissection as the reference standard.

How biomechanical improvements in running economy could break the 2-hour marathon barrier

Sports Medicine

A sub-2-hour marathon requires an average velocity (5.86 m/s) that is 2.5% faster than the current world record of 02:02:57 (5.72 m/s) and could be accomplished with a 2.7% reduction in the metabolic cost of running.
