An Introduction to Gait Analysis
What comes to your mind when you hear “Gait Analysis”? Probably the images of complex, expensive labs with high-end equipment and graphs that seem impossible to interpret.You might have learned …
Biomechanical Assessments for IT Band Syndrome in runners
UNDERSTANDING IT BAND SYNDROME IN RUNNERS IT Band syndrome is the leading cause of lateral knee pain in long-distance runners. To manage it efficiently, it is important to understand the …
A clinical guide for shoe assessment of patients
Since footwear can hugely affect posture & biomechanics, a clinical shoe assessment of a patient is very important. An ‘incorrect’ pair of shoes can lead to several injuries, even if there …
Rehab for shin splints: Biomechanical Assessments & Treatment
UNDERSTANDING SHIN SPLINTS To understand the rehab process for shin splints, its important to understand the correlation between running biomechanics and its effect on the tibia. Shin splints or Medial tibial stress …
Biomechanical Faults linked with Patellofemoral Pain in runners
To manage Patellofemoral pain in runners its important to understand the correlation between running biomechanics and its effect on the patellofemoral joint.
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), most commonly known as ‘Runner’s knee‘ or anterior knee pain syndrome, is defined as “pain occurring around or behind the patella that is aggravated by at least one activity that loads the patella during weight-bearing on a flexed knee.”
Running Injury Course: Biomechanical Analysis of Runners
A webinar hosted by team GaitON for clinicians who want to start with running analysis at their clinics. The session covers 3 important questions:
1. How can running assessments add value to the treatment process?
2. How to perform a running assessment at the clinic?
3. Important biomechanical faults that can be identified during a running analysis along with their causes, associated clinical conditions & corrections.
