SALRE Theory Supported in Recent Research

Discussion in 'Biomechanics, Sports and Foot orthoses' started by Kevin Kirby, May 10, 2016.

    My published theory from 15 years ago, the Subtalar Joint Axis Location and Rotational Equilibrium (SALRE) theory of foot function (Kirby KA: Subtalar joint axis location and rotational equilibrium theory of foot function. JAPMA, 91:465-488, 2001), has recently been supported in newly published research using valgus-wedged orthoses on subjects that had the electromyographic (EMG) activity of their lower leg muscles recorded. The authors found that peroneus longus EMG activity was reduced with foot orthoses that had valgus wedges added to the orthoses (Moisan G, Cantin V: Effects of two types of foot orthoses on lower limb muscle activity before and after a one-month period of wear. Gait Posture, 46:75-80, 2016).

    Here are a few quotes from the authors from their paper:

    Great, I can stop using my own anecdotal experience. I still remember vividly stepping on my new medial heel skive orthotic in mechanical orthopedics lab at CCPM. I could feel my posterior tibial muscle relaxing. This was the week after Kevin's paper on the medial heel skive came out in JAPMA. Thanks Kevin.
