Background Impact loading in runners, assessed by the measurement of tibial acceleration,
has attracted substantial research attention. Due to potential injury links, particularly tibial …

Background Running participation continues to increase. The ideal strike pattern during
running is a controversial topic. Many coaches and therapists promote non-rearfoot strike …

Some researchers, running instructors, and coaches have suggested that the “optimal”
footstrike pattern to improve performance and reduce running injuries is to land using a mid …

It is believed that human ancestors evolved the ability to run bipedally approximately 2
million years ago. This form of locomotion may have been important to our survival and likely …

Background Tibial stress fractures are common running related injury and their etiology may
include biomechanical factors like impact forces, shock attenuation, lower limb kinematics …

Studies seeking to determine the effects of gait retraining through biofeedback on peak tibial
acceleration (PTA) assume that this biometric trait is a valid measure of impact loading that …

Introduction Varus knee alignment has been identified as a risk factor for the progression of
medial knee osteoarthritis. However, the underlying mechanisms have not been elucidated …

Inertial measurement units (IMUs) are popular tools for estimating biomechanical variables
such as peak vertical ground reaction force (GRF v) and foot-ground contact time (tc), often …

Background Running retraining with the use of biofeedback on an impact measure has been
executed or evaluated in the biomechanics laboratory. Here, the execution and evaluation of …

Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is a common overuse running injury with
pathomechanics likely to be exaggerated by fatigue. Wearable accelerometry provides a …
