Abstract

Jumping is one of the most common maneuvers performed by basketball players. Flat-footed individuals are believed to have poorer ankle control compared to normal-arched individuals, which may impact jump performance. Foot orthoses are commonly used to support the deformed foot arch and restore normal foot function. However, it is unclear if foot orthoses use improves jump performance. Our study aims to investigate if foot type and/or foot orthoses influence countermovement jump (CMJ) and standing broad jump (SBJ) performance and lower limb biomechanics in basketball players.
