Hi all, I am starting out on a research project in a local sports medicine facility. My area of interest is in whether customised orthotic intervention differs in efficacy in runners with different strike patterns ie forefoot midfoot and rearfoot. I would love to do a kinetic and kinematic study on that, however, resources are limited as for now, and I only have an Fscan machine that can allow me to do mainly center of pressure calculations.

I have looked everywhere for any journal papers revealing moderate or high validity of evaluating foot and orthosis function with center of pressure, but I have found none. I do have high hopes of using center of pressure as a tool in evaluation, and sees a link between center of pressure and tissue stress theory which kinda makes sense to me and am trying to use it in my daily practice
I admit that my knowledge of biomechanics is very limited and would really appreciate anyone's input in this. Is it possible to quantify orthotic success with center of pressure measurements in a research setting? Any views on that? Thank you for any help!
