Fifty\u2010one respondents (29%) suffered an injury or pain while wearing MSRS, with the most common body part involved being the foot. Fifty\u2010four respondents (31%) had an injury that improved after adopting minimally shod running; the most common area involved was the knee. One\u2010hundred twenty respondents (69%) were still using MSRS. Of those who stopped using MSRS, the main reason was development of an injury or pain. The most common reason that respondents have not tried minimally shod running is a fear of developing an injury.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This survey\u2010based study demonstrated that the use of MSRS is common, largely as the result of a perception that they may reduce injuries or pain. Reductions and occurrences of injury\/pain with minimally shod running were reported in approximately equal numbers. The most common site of reported injury\/pain reduction was the knee, whereas the most common reported site of injury\/pain occurrence was the foot. Fear of developing pain or injury is the most common reason runners are reluctant to try minimally shod running.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pmrj.2015.03.001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,7]],"date-time":"2015-03-07T16:00:19Z","timestamp":1425744019000},"page":"831-835","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["A
