Description

The purpose of this study was to compare different stability boots using the fast testing method (FTM) and with subjects.

The stability boots were mounted on the custom built FTM. The lacing pressure was controlled using balloon pressure sensors mounted on the instep and dorsal shank of the test foot. Bodyweight was simulated by applying a vertical force using a pneumatic actuator. Plantar flexion, dorsal extension, inversion and eversion in the ankle were performed.
