Löparskor rekommenderade efter fottyp – relevant i skadeförebyggande syfte? : En litteraturöversikt

Sammanfattning: Background: Running can lead to injuries, and there are several types of shoes that are designed to reduce them. Running shoes have not yet been proven to prevent running related injuries. This literature review has compiled the evidence of motion control, neutral, stability and minimalistic shoes that can be recommended depending on the individual's foot type for injury prevention. The aim of this review was to investigate whether there is evidence that support that different running shoes could prevent injuries to runners with different foot types. Methods: A descriptive design was chosen for this literature review. Six articles from the databases PubMed and PEDro that met the inclusion criteria were selected and examined according to the PEDro-scale. Results: When using the running shoe motion control, 17,6% of the participants got a foot injury regardless of the type of foot. When using stability shoes 32,4% was damages and that was also independent of the type of foot. The injury incidence with neutral shoes was 33,3% at neutral foot type and 25% at pronation. When using minimalistic shoes, an increased injury risk was seen by 20%. Conclusions: This literature review cannot confirm the hypothesis that running shoes based on foot type can reduce the injury risk.
