Impact Related Factors and Running Injury
I have blogged before (Just How Significant are Heel Impacts at Causing Injury When Running?) and repeatedly commented that the evidence that links impact related factors to running injuries is far from compelling. Continue reading
Timing of ‘heel off’ in different running shoes
In the context of some of the issues that I wrote about yesterday concerning the problems with the “pronation” paradigm as the basis for prescribing running shoes, a number of years ago we decided to do a study looking at how a different parameter might be affected by the so-called ‘motion control design’ features of a running shoe. Unfortunately, the study never really got completed so won’t be published mainly because of the pressures of academic life, workload and other factors having to be given priority especially when a project is unfunded. I have to acknowledge my colleague Dan Bonanno for working on this project as well Continue reading

Rearfoot and Midfoot/Forefoot Impacts in Habitually Shod Runners
When comparing the biomechanics of different foot strike patterns, these reseachers set out to answer the somewhat ambiguous question of whether the biomechanical differences are due to changes in footwear, foot strike, or a combination of the Continue reading

What happens during the swing phase that is related to impact loads?
The biomechanics of peak impact loads and loading rates continue to be researched on the assumption that they are related to an increased risk for injury. Continue reading
Decreasing vertical impact loads via increasing ankle loads in Chi Runners
Hot on the heels of the systematic review last week that confirmed the adage that you can’t decrease the load in one tissue without increasing it in another and that different running techniques load different tissues differently , we have another study: A Comparison of Negative Joint Work and Vertical Ground Reaction Force Loading Rates between Chi Runners and Rearfoot Striking Runners Donald Lee Goss & Michael T. Gross J Orthop Sports Phys Ther, Epub 9 September 2013 Study Design Observational Continue reading

Just How Significant are Heel Impacts at Causing Injury When Running?
I have always really struggled to understand why there is so much fuss about reducing impact forces to treat and prevent overuse injuries in runners. Continue reading
