A Randomized Control Trial: Returning to Run After Injury

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Knee Injuries

In brief

The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of telehealth via video feedback to transition rear foot strike runners to non-heel strike runner following a lower extremity injury. Telehealth re-education gait training is much cheaper than in-clinic retraining sessions with a medical provider and could be much more widely used by both consumers and researchers as a training aid, a way to help alter running form, prevent running injuries and be used as a tool for use in the rehabilitation of running related injuries.
