This session will present the latest scientific evidence on how running shoes affect biomechanics, injuries and performance. This will help physiotherapists make informed recommendations to clients seeking treatment for a running injury, or advice on injury prevention.
Learning Objectives:
- Differentiate between different categories of running shoes (minimalist, maximalist, motion control, etc.).
- Understand how different types of footwear can affect forces applied to the lower limbs.
