Case-control study explores foot-ankle strength in runners with injury history, suggesting strength is not a risk factor.
Runners with a history of overuse running-related injury, whether affecting any anatomical region, or specifically the foot do not exhibit reduced foot-ankle muscle strength. Runners with and without a history of running-related injury had no differences in foot-ankle muscle strength, suggesting that foot-ankle strength alone was not associated with previous injury status in this cohort.
