Methods The midfoot kinematics of 21 males were recorded whilst walking in a neutral shoe, a neutral shoe with a foot orthotic and a neutral shoe with nodules located on the plantar medial aspect of the foot (experimental shoe). Electromyography of the peroneus longus, tibialis anterior and medial gastrocnemius was also recorded and analysed. A Friedman’s ANOVA was used to evaluate differences between shoe conditions, and a Wilcoxon signed ranks test was conducted to establish where the differences occurred.
