In a recent systematic review, we explored the effectiveness of lower cost tools for running gait retraining. This topic is important given most coaches, athletes and clinicians use lower cost devices to monitor and alter running gait motion. We found strong evidence that metronomes, smartwatches and digital cameras can be used to change running gait motion, particulalry step rate and foot strike patterns. Accelerometers also seem to be effective in helping reduce peak acceleration. These findings give support to the ongoing growth in use of lower cost devices to manipualte gait motion. However, validity and reliability of each device should be determined before use in training and rehabilitation.
