Background Running overuse injuries (ROIs) occur within a complex, partly injury-specific
interplay between training loads and extrinsic and intrinsic risk factors. Biomechanical risk …

Background Despite a rapidly growing body of research, a systematic evidence compilation
of the risk and protective factors for middle-and long-distance running-related injury (RRI) …

Heel pain, mostly caused by plantar fasciitis (PF), is a common complaint of many patients
who requiring professional orthopedic care and are mostly suffering from chronic pain …

Endurance running has evolved over the course of millions of years and it is now one of the
most popular sports today. However, the risk of stress injury in distance runners is high …

Objectives To investigate the relationships between the perception of comfort and
biomechanical parameters (plantar pressure and ground reaction force) during running with …

The quantification of plantar pressure distribution is widely done in the diagnosis of lower
limbs deformities, gait analysis, footwear design, and sport applications. To date, a number …

Background Foot orthoses are frequently used in sports for the treatment of overuse
complaints with sufficient evidence available for certain foot-related overuse pathologies like …

Pressure-sensitive measuring devices have been identified as appropriate tools for
measuring an array of parameters during running. It is unclear which biomechanical …

Aim/Hypothesis The etiology of plantar fasciitis (PF) has been related to several risk factors,
but the magnitude of the plantar load is the most commonly described factor. Although PF is …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare rearfoot alignment and medial longitudinal arch
index during static postures in runners, with and without symptoms and histories of plantar …
