Running humans attain optimal elastic bounce in their teens.

Aloha,

Perhaps we should work on orthotic and shoe systems that can supply an elastic element in them to compensate for this loss of elasticity.

Carbon fiber has an excellent spring effect (modulus of elasticity) that could be utilized in these systems.

Aloha Simon,

Yes you are soo smart.

And the foam and plastic shoe systems you sell to your patients are just fine according to your smartness...

Please post the list of our peers that are bored perhaps we could introduce them to something new like cantilevered spring orthotic systems.

Question--If a gait system has a decrease in overall elasticity would it therefore have an increase in negitive work required for gait?
