PURPOSE/AIM

To discuss the biomechanics, characteristic injuries, and imaging findings associated with barefoot/minimalist running in comparison to tradition (SHOD) running.

CONTENT ORGANIZATION

• Describe the origin of SHOD, and the emergence of barefoot/minimalist running styles. • Describe the biomechanics of these running styles, and how they lead to distinct injury patterns. • Review the specific imagining findings seen in injuries associated with barefoot/minimalist and tradition (SHOD) running. • Conclusion and future research directions.

SUMMARY

• In recent years there has been exponential growth in barefoot/minimalist style running, based on claims it can decrease running related injuries. However, injuries distinct to barefoot/minimalist running are now being observed. • A radiologic overview of barefoot/minimalist and traditional (SHOD) running is presented.
