Summary

The purposes of this study are 1) to assess foot strike patterns initially, at six months and at one year between two groups of runners attempting to transition to a non-rearfoot strike pattern (NRFS) with and without the use of biofeedback technology, and 2) to prospectively compare injury incidence rates at one year between NRFS and rearfoot strike (RFS) runners.
