The immediate effect of lateral wedging on first metatarsophalangeal joint kinematics and centre of pressure
Where the intention of using lateral wedging is to shift the COP medially, these data indicate that a wedge which is of higher inclination (6°) or spanning the full-length of the insole, should be used. Conversely, if the goal is to reduce extension at the first MPJ, these findings suggest that both 3° and 6° inclination wedges are suitable, with either forefoot or full-length applications proving effective.
