I’d be grateful for advice regarding the best way to evaluate the performance of custom therapeutic footwear regarding looking especially at efficiency of the propulsive phase of gait. I am particularly wanting to see if the shoe (as I suspect) is influencing vertical loading of the MP joints and therefore facilitating efficient sagittal plane function into propulsion. One way might be to look at Hallux loading / timing in relation to 1st MP joint loading with a pressure system but I’m interested in other protocols to evaluate this
