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.”

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.

With an injury rate of 2.35 per 1000 in the adult population (de Jonge et all, 2011), the Achilles tendon is one of the most commonly injured tendons, especially in athletes involved in running and jumping sports/activities (Kvist, 1994) (Wilson, 2005)
