Electromyography Evaluation of the Impacts of Different Insoles in the Activity Patterns of the Lower Limb Muscles

Electromyography Evaluation of the Impacts of Different Insoles in the Activity Patterns of the Lower Limb Muscles: A Cross-over Quasi-experimental Study

The main objective of this research is to demonstrate that the use of insoles of different hardness in motorcycle riders may cause variations in the electromyographic activity of the lower limb muscles during the race. This study is a cross-over quasi-experimental study. Nine motorcycle riders were recruited. Electromyographic activity of the lower limb muscles is recorded under different insole types.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Healthy subjects
• Motorcycle riders

Exclusion Criteria:

• Musculoskeletal conditions
• Neurological alterations
• Systemic diseases.
