Running Footwear: Shoes Impact Form, and Form Impacts Shoes

Course overview

Running shoes have seen quite the evolution. Early thin and flexible designs have morphed into stiff and bulky shoes, and are now moving toward the middle of the road. Which is best? Where is the evidence for these changes? How do you match running shoes to an individual runner? Footwear is typically part of a comprehensive treatment program, and it is critical that clinicians understand the effects of footwear in order to prescribe the right tool for their patients. In this course, Jay Dicharry examines relevant research and draws on clinical experience to build participants' knowledge, and help participants select the right tool for the job. Ensure that you are running in your shoes rather than your shoes running you!
