Landing Patterns Reduced initial load rates in FFS/MFS Landing patterns Summary - FFS FFS greater PF moment (gastroc force) More negative work performed during loading Higher EV and DF vel. may place greater strain on posterior tibialis and achilles tendon Lower vertical LR perhaps placing them at reduced risk of stress related injury Greater muscular work done at the rearfoot and less done at the knee 8
