Clinical Trial Summary

In this randomized control trial, participants with running-related knee pain will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. Participants in the intervention group will receive a telehealth gait retraining intervention, an at-home exercise program, a return to running protocol, and standard physical therapy. Participants in the control group will receive an at-home exercise program, a return to running protocol, and standard physical therapy. Data will be collected before intervention, at 10-weeks, and at 14-weeks to determine efficacy of the intervention.

Intervention

Procedure:
Telehealth Gait Retraining
Telehealth gait retraining is a novel approach to train participants to adopt a non-rearfoot foot strike pattern during running via telecommunications. During telehealth gait retraining, video of a participant's running form are sent to clinicians over a mobile device app and running form feedback is given. This process is repeated once a week for four weeks and then every other week until week 8.
Standard Physical Therapy Treatment
Participants receiving standard Physical Therapy will visit the Physical Therapy Clinic every 2 to 3 weeks to be treated by a Physical Therapist.
Return to Running Protocol
The Return to Running protocol is a six-phase running volume progression to re-introduce running slowly and safely after experiencing a running-related injury.
At Home Exercise Program
The At Home Exercise Program consists of 4 lower leg and foot exercises that participants can perform on their own time.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Worst knee pain during running assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Worst knee pain intensity in the past 7 days recorded using a 0 to 10 cm visual analogue scale where 0 equals no pain and 10 indicates the most severe pain the patient could imagine. Higher numbers equal greater levels of reported pain. Change from baseline to 10-weeks
Primary Worst knee pain after running assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Worst knee pain intensity in the past 7 days recorded using a 0 to 10 cm visual analogue scale where 0 equals no pain and 10 indicates the most severe pain the patient could imagine. Higher numbers equal greater levels of reported pain. Change from baseline to 10-weeks
Primary Foot strike pattern during running measured with motion capture Portion of the foot that makes initial contact with the ground at the start of each stance phase during running. Change from baseline to 10-weeks
Secondary University of Wisconsin Running Injury and Recovery Index A 9-item questionnaire (range 0-36, higher scores indicate more function) that measures a runners assessment of running ability after sustaining a running-related injury. Change from baseline to 10-weeks and 14-weeks
Secondary Worst non-knee pain during running assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Worst pain intensity in a region other than the knee during running in the past 7 days recorded using a 0 to 10 cm visual analogue scale where 0 equals no pain and 10 indicates the most severe pain the patient could imagine. Higher numbers equal greater levels of reported pain. Change from baseline to 10-weeks and 14-weeks
Secondary Worst knee pain overall assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Worst knee pain intensity experienced overall in the past 7 days recorded using a 0 to 10 cm visual analogue scale where 0 equals no pain and 10 indicates the most severe pain the patient could imagine. Higher numbers equal greater levels of reported pain. Change from baseline to 10-weeks and 14-weeks
Secondary Knee function assessed with the single assessment numeric evaluation method Participants will rate their knee function on a scale of 0 (least normal) to 100 (most normal). Change from baseline to 10-weeks and 14-weeks
Secondary Knee function assessed with the anterior knee pain scale Participants will rate their level of pain, disability, and impairment associated with their knee injury using a 13-item questionnaire (range 0-100, higher scores indicate better function). Change from baseline to 10-weeks and 14-weeks
Secondary Worst knee pain during running assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Worst knee pain intensity in the past 7 days recorded using a 0 to 10 cm visual analogue scale where 0 equals no pain and 10 indicates the most severe pain the patient could imagine. Higher numbers equal greater levels of reported pain. Change from baseline to 14-weeks
Secondary Worst knee pain after running assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Worst knee pain intensity in the past 7 days recorded using a 0 to 10 cm visual analogue scale where 0 equals no pain and 10 indicates the most severe pain the patient could imagine. Higher numbers equal greater levels of reported pain. Change from baseline to 14-weeks
Secondary Foot strike pattern during running measured with motion capture Portion of the foot that makes initial contact with the ground at the start of each stance phase during running. Change from baseline to 14-weeks
