Biomechanics and Wearables Laboratory
Foot/Ankle Biomechanics on Laterally Sloped Surfaces
Overview
The foot is a dynamic, variable structure that adjusts during nearly every activity. Despite this fact, little work has been done connecting the anatomy and biomechanics of the foot to sports performance. More specifically, no studies exist evaluating foot anatomy/biomechanics and their connection to performance in D1 female basketball players. We are currently collaborating with the URI women’s basketball team to assess the foot anthropometrics of their athletes and evaluate if those measures are correlated with their biomechanics and on court performance.
