Clinical application of foot strike run retraining for military service members with chronic knee pain.
Military training is associated with a high incidence of knee pain. Conversion from a rearfoot to non-rearfoot strike during running is effective at reducing knee pain in research environments. The purpose of this report was to demonstrate run retraining as a clinical intervention for service members with knee pain. ⋯ Knee pain and function improved as a result of non-rearfoot strike run retraining, which supports the clinical use of this evidence-based intervention.
