Footwear characteristics are related to running mechanics in runners with patellofemoral pain

Highlights • Footwear characteristics are associated with running mechanics in runners with PFP. • Higher MI score was moderately correlated with lower foot inclination and PFJ force. • Lower shoe mass was indicative of higher step rate and lower peak PFJ force. • Greater flexibility was indicative...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Footwear characteristics are associated with running mechanics in runners with PFP. • Higher MI score was moderately correlated with lower foot inclination and PFJ force. • Lower shoe mass was indicative of higher step rate and lower peak PFJ force. • Greater flexibility was indicative of lower foot inclination angle. • No significant correlations were found between footwear characteristics and VLR.
