Abstract
Gait analysis stands as a cornerstone in the realm of understanding human locomotion, undergoing substantial evolution propelled by technological breakthroughs and interdisciplinary collaboration. Within this multifaceted landscape, the significance of footwear emerges as a pivotal factor in shaping gait biomechanics and influencing various parameters scrutinized during gait analysis. This paper delves into a meticulous review of literature, comprehensively exploring how footwear impacts gait analysis across biomechanical, clinical, and technological dimensions. It delves into the intricate interplay between footwear and gait, scrutinizing their effects on kinematics, kinetics, spatiotemporal parameters, muscle activation, and energy expenditure during both walking and running activities. Moreover, the review navigates the practical implications of footwear selection and design within clinical settings, sports performance enhancement strategies, and rehabilitation contexts. It elucidates how the right footwear choices can significantly influence gait assessment outcomes and contribute to optimized performance and recovery trajectories. Furthermore, the paper ventures into the realm of emerging technologies and methodologies, shedding light on innovative approaches aimed at deepening our comprehension of the nuanced relationship between footwear characteristics and gait mechanics. By exploring these frontiers, it aims to propel the discourse forward, fostering continued advancements in gait analysis and enhancing our ability to harness the potential of footwear in optimizing human locomotion and well-being.
