Popis: Multi-segment foot kinematics during shod running are difficult to investigate in clinical settings. Stretch strain sensors can measure foot kinematics; however, whether they can evaluate foot kinematics during shod running or at the midfoot kinematics remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the stretch strain sensor could reveal differences between shod and barefoot conditions and midfoot kinematics during running.Eighteen healthy adults were included in the study. A stretch strain sensor and three-dimensional motion capture system were used to measure foot kinematics during barefoot and shod running with a rearfoot strike pattern. The correlation between the amplitudes of the two signals during barefoot running was investigated, and the similarity between the two signals was evaluated using the cross-correlation coefficient. Statistical parametric mapping was used to compare shod and barefoot conditions.Shod running had significantly lower sensor strain from 30 % to 100 % stance compared to barefoot running (p
