Asics helps prove good shoes beat knee disease
25/10/2011
Researchers at the University of Melbourne, Australia, have said that a modified shoe can reduce knee load in people with knee osteoarthritis.
The research has been carried out by Professor Kim Bennell and her team at the Centre for Health, Exercise and Sports Medicine at the University of Melbourne and supported by an Australian Research Council grant with athletic footwear company ASICS. Results showed that a specially-designed shoe can reduce knee load during walking, compared to traditionally-designed athletic shoes.
