In the context of some of the issues that I wrote about yesterday concerning the problems with the “pronation” paradigm as the basis for prescribing running shoes, a number of years ago we decided to do a study looking at how a different parameter might be affected by the so-called ‘motion control design’ features of a running shoe. Unfortunately, the study never really got completed so won’t be published mainly because of the pressures of academic life, workload and other factors having to be given priority especially when a project is unfunded. I have to acknowledge my colleague Dan Bonanno for working on this project as well
