Despite extensive research on running mechanics, there is still a knowledge gap with respect to the degree of relationship between mediolateral ground reaction forces (ML-GRF) and foot pronation. Our goal was to investigate whether differences exist in ML-GRF among runners that exhibit different degrees of pronation. Seventeen male and 13 female recreational runners ran with and without shoes while ML-GRF and frontal kinematics were collected simultaneously. Subjects were divided into groups…

The Association Between Rearfoot Motion While Barefoot and Shod in Different Types of Running Shoes in Recreational Runners.
TLDR
The rearfoot eversion angle changed an average 4 degrees when running shod and the RM barefoot altered quite a lot when using a running shoe, as claimed by the manufacturers.
Reduction in ground reaction force variables with instructed barefoot running
Change of Pronation Angle of the Subtalar Joint has Inluence on Plantar Pressure Distribution
TLDR
The need for speciic care of individuals with diferent pronation angles of the subtalar joint angle during gait with controlled speed is demonstrated, mainly because the increased pressure plant peaks is related to pain in the feet and onset of injuries.
A Comparison of Lower Extremity Biomechanics and Muscle Activity between Individuals with Normal and Pronated Static Foot Postures
TLDR
It is suggested that a pronated static foot posture does not influence LE biomechanics or gluteal/adductor activity in manners consistent with heightened injury risk and is likely functionally irrelevant.
Ground Reaction Force Differences between Bionic Shoes and Neutral Running Shoes in Recreational Male Runners before and after a 5 km Run
TLDR
The results suggest that bionic shoes may benefit runners with decreasing injury risk during running, and may help to understand the effects of footwear design during prolonged running, thereby providing valuable information for reducing the risk of running injuries.
Impact of foot pronation on postural stability: An observational study.
TLDR
Investigating the effect of foot pronation on the postural stability through measuring the dynamic balance including overall stability index, anteroposterior stability index and mediolateral stability index found no significant difference.
The Biomechanical Differences Between Barefoot and Shod Distance Running: A Systematic Review and Preliminary Meta-Analysis
TLDR
Modified results indicate moderate evidence that barefoot running is associated with reduced peak ground reaction force (GRF), increased foot and ankle plantarflexion and increased knee flexion at ground contact compared with running in a neutral shoe, and clear guidance for clinical practice is limited because of the low methodological quality of the associated studies.
Barefoot running causes acute changes in lower limb kinematics in habitually shod male runners.
TLDR
Results indicated that immediate adaptations occurred when transitioning from shod running to barefootRunning, and knee and ankle kinematic and spatio-temporal variables at foot strike between barefoot and shodRunning.
Running ground reaction force complexity at the initial stance phase increased with ageing
TLDR
The amplitudes of GRF were not influenced by age group, which indicated that muscle strength in the older runners tested could fulfil mechanical demand during running, but the increased GRF complexity in initial stance phase with ageing could be a result of reduced muscle contraction coordination and smoothness of force production.
Effect of torsional stiffness on biomechanical variables of the lower extremity during running
TLDR
While shoe torsional stiffness influences foot kinematics significantly, it does not affect lower extremity running biomechanics in a way that would alter the risk of running injuries.

TLDR
It was concluded that more research is needed to specify whether the reported result is representative for various shoe types or is shoe specific, as well as to explain the results with a mechanical model.
Subtalar and knee joint interaction during running at various stride lengths.
TLDR
The results indicated that increases in GRIF via changes in stride length could disrupt the coordination between subtalar and knee joint actions.

Asynchrony between subtalar and knee joint function during running.
TLDR
The velocity differences between the actions of the subtalar and the knee joint, which in essence capture the antagonistic nature of their relationship, produced the highest correlation with the clinical evaluation.
The effects of shoes on the torsion and rearfoot motion in running.
TLDR
The purpose of this investigation was to show whether the pronation angle and the torsion angle differ when running barefoot, with spikes, and with running shoes and to reduce the risk of injury.
Evaluation of lower extremity overuse injury potential in runners.
TLDR
The results suggest that runners who have developed stride patterns that incorporate relatively low levels of impact forces, and a moderately rapid rate of pronation are at a reduced risk of incurring overuse running injuries.

TLDR
In this study, footprint and ground reaction forces (GRF) were simultaneously recorded from 32 male subjects running barefoot and a medial and a lateral rotation were observed on footprint between the rearfoot and the forefoot in the horizontal plane.
