Abstract:BackgroundTo determine the effects of negative heel shoes on perceived pain and knee biomechanical characteristics of runners with patellofemoral pain (PFP) during running.MethodsSixteen runners with PFP ran in negative (−11 mm drops) and positive (5 mm drops) heel shoes while visual analog scale (VAS) scores, retroreflective markers, and ground reaction force were acquired by applying a 10‐cm VAS, infrared motion capture system, and a three‐dimensional force plate. Knee moment, patellofemoral joint stress (PF… Show more
