Table 2.
Maximum force (normalised to BW) for each anatomical region during a forward straight-line run at at 5.5 m s−1 (19.8 km/h)
| Maximum force (normalised BW) | Anatomical region | MT-5 group uninvolved limb | Effect size (Cohen's d) | MT-5 group injured limb |
| Forward straight-line run | Lateral toes 2–5 | 0.24±0.09 | −0.1 | 0.23±0.07 |
| Lateral forefoot | 0.89±0.01 | −1.5* | 0.76±0.01 | |
| Lateral midfoot | 0.70±0.17 | −0.1 | 0.69±0.19 | |
| Total foot | 2.96±0.30 | −0.2 | 2.94±0.19 |
In inter-limb difference within the MT-5 group (injured−uninvolved limb). Green data bars and negative effect size show magnitude of unloading at the injured limb.
*Significant difference between groups (p<0.05).
