The vertical impact force peak was not altered. Plantar and dorsiflexion were not affected. The tested brace significantly reduced the range (total subtalar eversion 13.3 deg vs 18.1 deg, p < 0.05) and rate of subtalar eversion (maximal velocity - 309 deg The movements of the lower extremity of seven trained male long-distance runners were filmed frontally (250 s -1) and sagittally (50 s -1) while running at 4.5 ± 0.1 m As running forms a basic activity in sports, the current study investigated the influence of wearing a Push® type medium ankle brace upon movements of the foot and ankle during the stance phase in running.
