Coefficient of cross correlation analysis of kinematics during walking barefoot and in Vibram FiveFingers

摘要

The current phenomenon of barefoot running appears to have facilitated a near market saturation of conceptual barefoot-related footwear. It is no wonder since the related literature has demonstrated favourable impact-moderating adaptations (De Clercq et al. 1994, Squadrone and Gallozzi 2009, Lieberman et al. 2010) and provided evolutionary (Lieberman et al. 2010) and philosophical perspectives (Oschman 2008).
