| Course Description: | Successful treatment of running injuries has remained somewhat elusive to orthopedic and sports medicine clinicians. Through a greater understanding of the associated mechanics, advances in prevention and rehabilitation strategies can be made that will reduce the incidence rate of these common injuries. This advanced 2-day course will provide a thorough review of the most recent scientific findings related to the examination, diagnosis and treatment of running injuries. Discussion will focus on the current literature pertaining to running mechanics and injury, and the clinical decision making needed to achieve superior outcomes. Novel strategies to modify running mechanics will be presented as part of a comprehensive approach to treatment. Multiple case studies will be integrated to illustrate concepts and promote idea application. The overall objective is to provide each participant with an understanding of the current knowledge pertaining to the management of running-related injuries, with techniques that can be immediately applied in clinical practice. |
| Course Objectives: |
1. Explain biomechanical and training-related risk factors for running injuries using current evidence. 2. Analyze the factors that influence running form and performance. 3. Describe effective strategies to modify the running form and determine when it is appropriate to do so as part of the rehabilitation plan. 4. Define running mechanics associated with bone stress injuries, and explain the influence of running mechanics on bone mass. 5. Develop a rehabilitation plan for runners with tendinopathy that addresses both tendon recovery and provocative running mechanics. 6. Evaluate readiness to run following ACL reconstruction and incorporate gait retraining as needed. 7. Recognize changes in lumbopelvic mechanics in the post-partum runner 8. Distinguish risk factors associated with hamstring strain injury and key aspects of the rehabilitation. |
