Midfoot impulse asymmetry

Midfoot impulse asymmetry is associated with hip pain in humans.

“Worsening left hip pain was associated with both overall loading rate asymmetry (p = 0.012) and midfoot impulse asymmetry (p = 0.047).”

Midfoot impulse asymmetry is associated with knee pain in humans.

“Greater midfoot impulse asymmetry was significantly associated with worsening left knee pain (p = 0.001).”
