A 2015 systematic review of 15 studies found that male runners are at higher risk of running-related injuries that female runners. The same study identified different risk factors for women and men:


Strong and moderate evidence was found that a history of previous injury and of having used orthotics/inserts was associated with an increased risk of running injuries. Age, previous sports activity, running on a concrete surface, participating in a marathon, weekly running distance (30–39 miles) and wearing running shoes for 4 to 6 months were associated with a greater risk of injury in women than in men 6. A history of previous injuries, having a running experience of 0–2 years, restarting running, weekly running distance (20–29 miles) and having a running distance of more than 40 miles per week were associated with a greater risk of running-related injury in men than in women 5.

Objectives:

to be able to do a 2D gait assessment and understand the outcomes of it to translate the injuries occurring to runners and how this can help in rehabilitation planning

How running mechanics influence tissue stress and injuries

Common Biomechanical patterns that are associated with running injuries and how they influence the tissue stress of these injuries

Assessment of these mechanical parameters in clinical set up and how to use these information for the management set up

Overview of Running Injuries

A 2015 systematic review of 15 studies found that male runners are at higher risk of running-related injuries that female runners. The same study identified different risk factors for women and men:

Women Men
Age History of previous injury
History of previous sports activity Running experience for 2 years
running on a concrete surface History of previous injury
Participating in a marathon Average weekly running distance (20–29 miles)
weekly running distance (30–39 miles)
wearing running shoes for 4 to 6 months
