Background Vertical ground reaction force (VGRF) parameters have been implicated as a
cause of several running-related injuries. However, no systematic review has examined this …

Study Design Systematic review with meta-analysis. Objectives To determine the
biomechanical differences between foot-strike patterns used when running. Background …

Background: Inconsistent associations have been reported for impact-related ground
reaction force variables and running injuries when grouping all injuries together. However …

Recent studies have reported the application of artificial neural network (ANN) techniques
on data of inertial measurement units (IMUs) to predict ground reaction forces (GRFs), which …

Background Cutting actions are associated with non-contact ACL injuries in multidirectional
sports due to the propensity to generate large multiplanar knee joint loads (KJLs) that have …

Background Running participation continues to increase. The ideal strike pattern during
running is a controversial topic. Many coaches and therapists promote non-rearfoot strike …

Background Running popularity has increased resulting in a concomitant increase in
running-related injuries with patellofemoral pain most commonly reported. The purpose of …

Running shoe cushioning has become a standard method for managing impact loading and
consequent injuries due to running. However, despite decades of shoe technology …

Forefoot strike becomes popular among runners because it facilitates better impact
attenuation. However, forefoot strike may overload the plantar fascia and impose risk of …

Background Recreational runners frequently suffer from chronic pathologies. The knee and
ankle have been highlighted as common injury sites. Barefoot and barefoot inspired …
