RECOVERY EVALUATION FOLLOWING OVERUSE RUNNING INJURIES.
Introduction: Running is a common form of aerobic exercise, but 50% of runners will suffer an overuse injury. Identifying injury etiology is of importance for clinicians to provide evidence based practice. Interestingly, there is a paucity of biomechanical, physiological, or psychological data on …

The application of clinical gait analysis to running injuries
… of the multiple factors commonly implicated in running injury. Effective management of running injuries requires that the concerned health professional identify all implicated factors. In this regard it is essential that the relationship between running style and injury he determined, because if …

The Runner: A Profile of Injury and Addiction
… has developed in recent years as to whether running should be considered a "positive addiction" or as a "negative "addiction." And judgements have not been made on an adequate base of epidemiologic data. This study sought to develop a more detailed body of epidemiologic information on the …

Factors associated with injuries in road-runners at a local athletic club
… basis to reduce the risk of premature death. Running has thus become the preferred choice of physical activity by thousands of people to help improve their overall health and wellbeing. Apart from the health benefits that running provides, it can also predispose the runner to potential injury …

Biomechanical and comfort analyses on the use of commercial insoles while walking and running
Background: Incidence rates of running injuries are high. Previous research has indicated that the use of prefabricated insoles may be beneficial for altering kinematic and kinetic patterns that cause running injuries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how prefabricated insoles affect …

The association between running kinematics and common overuse injuries in runners : implications for injury and rehabilitation
Background: Running related injuries are influenced by a complex interaction between multiple factors. Running kinematic patterns represent one such factor which will influence the load applied to musculoskeletal structures during each foot contact of a run. When combined with an increase in …

Effects of Prolonged Running on Ground Reaction Force Patterns Wearing Shoes of Different Midsole Durometers (Fatigue)
… obtained from 15 subjects, 18 to 49 years, running "as hard as possible." GRFs were measured on a force platform at the start, middle, and end of one hour of running. Testing took place on two days when shoes of different midsole durometers (40 and 70 DSs) were worn. The protocol allowed …

EMG measurement of the adductor muscles during walking and running
… has been linked to a range of musculoskeletal running injuries and may be linked to atypical activation pattern of the muscles surrounding the pelvis. However, to date, previous research investigating pelvic drop has focused on the abductor group, with minimal focus on the adductor group. …

THE INFLUENCE OF THE BACK FUNCTIONAL LINE ON LOWER EXTREMITY FRONTAL PLANE KINEMATICS AND KINEMATIC PREDICTORS OF LOADING DURING RUNNING
Running injuries have been linked to poor lower extremity dynamic alignment, increased whole body and joint loading, and insufficient modulation of stiffness throughout stance phase. Upper body muscle activity and movement have a relationship to lower body dynamics; however, the literature has …
