OUTLINE

• Review of kinematics associated with common running injuries
• Why is gait training essential to change faulty kinematics?  Is strengthening of associated musculature enough?
• Review of the current evidence pertaining to the efficacy of changing  gait with various types of feedback
• Discuss how motor control principles guide feedback in the gait training process
• Suggestions for cuing gait changes in runners
• Review of therapeutic exercises that support the desired changes in gait
• How do minimal shoes and barefoot running affect running gait compared with traditional shoes, and how can we advise our patients to incorporate them into their program
