Objectives:
to be able to do a 2D gait assessment and understand the outcomes of it to translate the injuries occurring to runners and how this can help in rehabilitation planning
How running mechanics influence tissue stress and injuries
Common Biomechanical patterns that are associated with running injuries and how they influence the tissue stress of these injuries
Assessment of these mechanical parameters in clinical set up and how to use these information for the management set up
Overview of Running Injuries[edit | edit source]
A recent systematic review found the highest rates of running injuries were to be in the knee (28%) followed by ankle foot (26%) and shank (16%). Knee injuries were higher in women, while foot-ankle injuries were found to be higher in men[1].
A 2015 systematic review[2] of 15 studies found that male runners are at higher risk of running-related injuries that female runners. The same study identified different risk factors for women and men:
| Women | Men | |
|---|---|---|
| Age | History of previous injury | |
| History of previous sports activity | Running experience for 2 years | |
| running on a concrete surface | History of previous injury | |
| Participating in a marathon | Average weekly running distance (20–29 miles) | |
| weekly running distance (30–39 miles) | ||
| wearing running shoes for 4 to 6 months |
