‘Overpronation’ and achilles tendon blood flow
Those who have done one of my Clinical Biomechanics Boot Camps know the dilemma I have of about the pathomechanical link between foot biomechanics and load in the Achilles tendon, and the speculation that it’s potentially a joint moment issue at the subtalar joint and not the ankle joint. Having said that, this new study […] Continue reading
I know it is only a pilot study, but …. injuries in minimalist runners
You know its never going to be a very good day when you check your alerts over breakfast and this turns up: Self-Reported Minimalist Running Injury Incidence and Severity: A Pilot Study Katrina Ostermann, DO; Lance Ridpath, MS; Jandy B. Hanna, PhD The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association, August 2016, Vol. 116, 512-520 Continue reading
Relevant Gems from the 2016 ACSM Meeting
The American College of Sports Medicine annual meeting in Boston has just come to a close and as I bemoaned about a year ago, I did not get to it, yet again. One day I will go. I do, however devour the abstract books each year as there are always some gems. Continue reading

The Problem with the Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis
Probably a day does not go by in which I read something somewhere about plantar fasciitis and I end up face palming myself and eye rolling. The worst are those that usually start with “The Truth About…“; that usually gets a double face palm that hurts me and the eyes rolling so far that I […] Continue reading
Minimalist Running Shoes and Injury Risk
This is not a new study and I did comment on it almost two years ago when the results were first available. What is new is that it was finally published in full today: Minimalist Running Shoes and Injury Risk Among United States Army Soldiers Tyson Greir, MS, Michelle Canham-Chervak, PhD, MPH, Timothy Bushman, MS, […] Continue reading
Intrinsic Muscle Strength in Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is something I have frequently blogged about. Plantar fasciitis is very common. Continue reading
The Functional Movement Screen for Predicting Running Injuries
I like studies like this. Straight forward research question; methods designed to answer the question; and sound methods and analysis. Continue reading
Foot strike pattern and injuries in ultramarathoners
The preponderance of studies on foot strike pattern and injury risk have shown that there are no differences. In terms of injury rates, they are the same regardless of the foot strike pattern. Yet despite that evidence, I fail to understand why there is still a debate and so much rhetoric on this Continue reading
Motion control running shoes do affect the running injury rate
Earlier today I summed up some of the key papers and discussions at the Footwear Biomechanics symposium in Liverpool ( here ). In that summary I did promise more on this study as it has the potential to put a real spanner in the works, especially in the context of the continued rhetoric and propaganda that we keep hearing. This particular study was presented at the conference by Laurent Malisoux from the Sports Medicine Research Laboratory at the Luxembourg Institute of Health (the abstract of the paper is here ).
