The Running Shoe Prescription
Tuesday February 15, 2005
Running-related injuries are among the most frequent reasons for doctor visits, however, wearing proper shoes may prevent such visits. This article, published in The Physician and Sports Medicine, descibes a simple, office-based assessment that gives the best possible advice to patients regarding the fit and features of their running shoes.
Dear Elizabeth
Whilst standard practice for many years, the approach to running shoe prescription you are recommending is not actually evidence based.
See http://bjsm.bmj.com/cgi/content/abstract/bjsm.2008.046680v1 for details.
