This range indicates the variability in injury incidence among recreational runners.
Recurrence rates for injuries in runners = ____%
20-70%
This percentage reflects the likelihood of previously injured runners experiencing the same injury again.
____ pain is considered the most common running-related injury
Patellofemoral
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is frequently reported among runners.
Incidence of patellofemoral pain in runners = ____%
20.8%
This statistic shows how common patellofemoral pain is within the running population.
Prevalence of patellofemoral pain in runners = ____%
22.7%
This indicates the proportion of runners experiencing patellofemoral pain at any given time.
What are the 5 most common injuries in runners?
- PFPS
- ITBFS
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tibial stress fracture
- Knee meniscal injuries
These injuries are frequently reported among runners.
What 5 circumstances does biomechanics of the runner matter?
- With low load/force but high volume
- With high loads/forces
- Pain
- Post-surgical
- Peak performance
These circumstances highlight key factors in running biomechanics.
With running injuries, any reduction in _____ load at the site of injury could help reduce pain & potentially maintain running load
biomechanical
Reducing biomechanical load can aid in injury management and prevention.
What 8 things are you assessing in the sagittal plane during a running analysis?
- Trunk sidebend
- Lateral pelvic drop
- Knee center position
- Knee separation
- Foot to COM position
- Rearfoot position
- Forefoot position
- Full gait cycle
These assessments are crucial for understanding running mechanics.
An appropriate pelvic drop in males during running = ____ degrees
3-5 degrees
This range is considered normal for male runners.
An appropriate pelvic drop in females during running = ____ degrees
4-7 degrees
This indicates the expected pelvic drop for female runners.
What are 3 things you are assessing in the frontal plane during initial contact of a running analysis?
- Foot strike pattern
- Tibial inclination
- Knee flexion angle
These factors are key to evaluating initial contact mechanics.
With tibial inclination during initial contact, appropriate = ____ degrees
5 degrees
This value is essential for evaluating proper tibial alignment.
How many degrees of knee flexion should there be during initial contact with running?
40 degrees
This angle indicates the degree of knee flexion expected at the initial contact phase of running.
What are 2 things you are assessing in the frontal plane during midstance of a running analysis?
- Forward trunk lean
- COM vertical excursion
COM stands for Center of Mass, which is crucial for analyzing running mechanics.
How many degrees of knee flexion should there be during midstance with running?
20 degrees
This measurement is important for understanding the knee’s position during the midstance phase.
How many degrees of ankle dorsiflexion should there be during midstance with running?
5-10 degrees
Dorsiflexion at this angle allows for proper foot placement and stability.
What 2 things are you assessing during the full gait cycle in the frontal plane of a running analysis?
- Forward trunk lean
- COM vertical excursion
These factors help in evaluating the overall biomechanics of running.
How many degrees of trunk flexion should there be with running?
6-8 degrees
This angle is significant for maintaining balance and efficiency in running.
How many cm of COM vertical excursion is normal with running?
5-10 cm
This range indicates the vertical movement of the center of mass during a running stride.
A posterior tibial mobilization is facilitating a ___ glide for limited knee ___
posterior; extension
This mobilization technique is used to improve knee extension range.
An anterior tibial or posterior femoral mobilization is facilitating a ___ glide for limited knee ____
anterior; extension
This is important for addressing restrictions in knee motion.
The tibial external rotation mobilization is a ___ rotation force on the femur & a ____ rotation force on the tibia
internal; external
This technique is used to address specific knee mobility issues.
The tibial external rotation mobilization is for limited knee ____
extension
This mobilization helps restore normal movement patterns in the knee.
