Gait Analysis
FitFlop Footwear can help realign force through the body Wearing FitFlop footwear can also realign ground reaction force towards your core, helping alleviate back, pelvis and knee stress(2). 
(2) Biomechanist Dr Philip Graham and Richard Jones at Salford University have identified that gait analysis techniques (motion analysis, forces, electromyography and in-shoe pressure analysis) can provide us with an insight as to how the Microwobbleboard™ multi-density midsole is responsible for alleviating a host of muscular-skeletal conditions. Subjects were fitted with small reflective markers and electrodes, photographed and filmed while walking to monitor movement. This information was used to create an animation of a skeleton walking in exactly the same way as the subject. These preliminary findings form part of a two year UK Government funded Knowledge Transfer Partnership to research the biomechanical benefits of FitFlop Microwobbleboard™ technology. *Please note that on page 10 of the Spring Summer brochure, we would like to clarify that the claim “you can improve your posture” is derived from hundreds of FitFlop wearer testimonials we have received. The research study illustrates that “wearing FitFlop footwear can realign ground reaction force towards your core, helping alleviate back, pelvis and knee stress.”
