Would you like to improve your assessment and treatment of runners? Welcome to this running injury course hosted by team GaitON for clinicians who want to start with running analysis at their clinics.
COURSE OUTLINE
The running injury course covers important questions like:
- How can running assessments add value to the treatment process?
- What are some common injuries in runners?
- What are the factors apart from musculoskeletal impairments that lead to injuries in runners?
- Load frequency pattern of an athlete
- ITB Syndrome, Patellofemoral Pain & stress fractures – what contributes to this in runners?
- What equipment do you need for a running analysis of a patient?
- Important biomechanical faults that can be identified during a running analysis along with their causes, associated clinical conditions & corrections.
- What are the corrective strategies of these biomechanical faults?
Hope you find the course useful ! For any feedback or queries regarding the running injury course, do reach out to us at info@auptimo.com.
At auptimo, we help clinicians introduce running analysis at their centers through GaitON, our motion analysis system. Its inbuilt running protocol assesses important biomechanical faults in running form and exports all results in organised reports with normal values.
