The role of arch compression and metatarsophalangeal joint dynamics in modulating plantar fascia strain in running
Elastic energy returned from passive-elastic structures of the lower limb is fundamental in lowering the mechanical demand on muscles during running. The purpose of this study was to investigate the two length-modulating mechanisms of the plantar fascia, namely medial longitudinal arch compression a...
