Analysis of the use of insoles in the dynamic stability of the lower limbs in recreational runners: An exploratory study.

Background: The use of insoles, which is increasingly widespread, can promote changes in biomechanics during running.

Research Question: Can the use of insoles with various patterns of infracapital support influence factors related to the dynamic stability of the lower limbs during running on a treadmill in recreational runners?

Methods: This is controlled single-blind repeated measures. Static baropodometric data were collected, as well as kinematic data for the lower limbs and electromyographic data for the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius muscles, for twelve recreational runners on a treadmill using four models of insoles (neutral and with forefoot elements - infracapital bar).
