Kinematic and kinetic comparison of running in standard and minimalist shoes
(2013-07)
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 secondary purpose of this study was to ...
Effects of Medially Wedged Foot Orthoses on Knee and Hip Joint Running Mechanics in Females With and Without Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome.
(2013)
We examined the effects of medially wedged foot orthoses on knee and hip joint mechanics during running in females with and without patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). We also tested if these effects depend on standing ...
A pathomechanical paradigm for treating the injured runner
(2013)
Pathological mechanics are thought
to play a role in many common
running injuries. A review of the
biomechanical literature reveals that
a given running injury may be associated
with multiple faulty running
mechanics. ...
Comparison of Stance Phase Knee Joint Angles and Moments Using Two Different Surface Marker Representations of the Proximal Shank in Walkers and Runners
(2013)
Efforts to compare different surface marker configurations in 3-dimensional motion analysis are warranted as more complex and custom marker sets become more common. At the knee, different markers can been used to represent ...
Varied response to mirror gait retraining of gluteus medius control, hip kinematics, pain, and function in 2 female runners with patellofemoral pain.
(2013-12)
STUDY DESIGN:
Case report.
BACKGROUND:
The underlying mechanism of the changes in running mechanics after gait retraining is presently unknown. This case report assesses changes in muscle coordination and kinematics ...
