Background: It is not known whether the effects on altered running style which are attributed to minimalist footwear can be achieved by verbal instructions in standard running shoes (SRS).
Aim: To explore the effect of Vibram FiveFingers (VFF) versus SRS plus running instruction on lower extremity spatiotemporal parameters and lower limb joint kinematics.
Methods: 35 healthy subjects (mean=30 years, 18 females) were assessed on two occasions with 3D motion analysis.
