Background Describing the response of spatiotemporal gait characteristics, and related
variables such as variability and stiffness, to different stressors is important to better …

The purpose of this study was to determine if running in a minimalist shoe results in a
reduction in ground reaction forces and alters kinematics over standard shoe running. The …

Background A return to running after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) is
critical to the clinical success of any cutting and pivoting athlete who wishes to return to …

Study Design Systematic literature review. Objectives This review sought to determine the
efficacy of real-time visual and/or auditory feedback for modifying kinematics and kinetics …

Abstract Purpose of Review Movement retraining in rehabilitation is the process by which a
motor program is changed with the overall goal of reducing pain or injury risk. Movement …

Why would it be necessary to alter someone's natural running gait pattern? Running gait
patterns are not self-optimized for each individual. Despite Nigg and colleagues'1 theory of …

Background The loadrate of the vertical ground reaction force at impact has been associated
with a variety of running injuries. Peak tibial shocks occur during the early stance phase and …

Background Patellofemoral pain is common among runners and is frequently attributed to
increased patellofemoral joint stress. The purpose of our study was to examine the effects of …

Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is characterized by anterior knee pain of insidious onset that is
exacerbated under conditions of increased patellofemoral joint stress. It is commonly …

Study Design Reliability study. Background Video analysis of running gait is frequently
performed in orthopaedic and sports medicine practices to assess biomechanical factors …
