Rear-foot kinematics in runners with PFPS during walking, squatting and uphill running
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is the most common overuse injury in distance runners. A pilot investigation found that runners with a history of PFPS exhibited increased rear-foot eversion and reduced rear-foot dorsiflexion compared to uninjured controls during level treadmill running [1]. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether these kinematic alterations were also demonstrated during activities that demanded more dorsiflexion (uphill running and squatting) and less dorsiflexion (walking) compared to level running.

Comparisons of bracing and patellar taping on knee three-dimensional kinematics of women with patellofemoral pain syndrome in stance phase of running
Introduction: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the most common knee injuries that accounted for between 25-40% of all knee problems presenting to sports medicine centers. Two treatment methods of bracing and taping are recommended in these patients that their effectiveness are unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the two treatment methods on knee three-dim...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the two models of marker placement for identifying of rear foot angle in normal people with and without shoes during the different stage of stance phase of walking. Methods: Fifteen male students in Birjand University were selected based on Navicular Drop Index. After marker placement based on Clarke and Nigg models, the rear foot angle wer...
متن کاملThe Effect of Long-Term Use of Motion Control Shoes on the Ground Reaction Force Components during Running in Runners with Excessive Pronated Feet
Introduction: Most of the functional disorders in the foot are created by changes in the arch of the foot. The motion control shoes are designed to control the excessive rear foot motions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of long-term use of motion control shoe on the ground reaction force components in individuals with functional pronated feet during running. Methods: The prese...
متن کاملRelationships between Ground Reaction Forces and Kinematics during Downhill Running in Distance Runners
Vertical impact force during downhill running should be analyzed in terms of risk of injuries caused in hill training of distance runners. In spite that the impact force in running was influenced by some kinematic parameters at the foot contact (Gerritsen et al. 1995), few studies analyzed interactions between ground reaction forces (GRFs) and kinematics during downhill running in detail. The p...
متن کاملComparison of Minimalist Footwear Strategies for Simulating Barefoot Running: A Randomized Crossover Study
Possible benefits of barefoot running have been widely discussed in recent years. Uncertainty exists about which footwear strategy adequately simulates barefoot running kinematics. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of athletic footwear with different minimalist strategies on running kinematics. Thirty-five distance runners (22 males, 13 females, 27.9 ± 6.2 years, 179.2 ...
