Data confirm kinetic, EMG changes The static curve of a rocker-bottom shoe does not correlate strongly with its rollover shape during gait, suggesting that other factors such as material stiffness may also contribute, according to research from the University of Salford in the UK. Investigators analyzed rollover shape in 20 individuals walking at a self-selected speed under four footwear conditions: a flat control shoe, a weighted flat control shoe, a Masai Barefoot Technology (MBT) rocker-bottom shoe, and a prototype rocker-bottom shoe.
