This project aims to investigate whether an increase in step rate can be used to reduce pain
and injury causing movement patterns in runners who are currently experiencing achilles
tendonopathy, iliotibial band syndrome, patellofemoral pain syndrome and medial tibial stress
syndrome.
Many injuries have been reported to share similar injury causing movement patterns. For
example iliotibial band syndrome and patellofemoral pain syndrome have been reported to be
caused by increased side to side drop of the pelvis and inward movement of the hip.
Gait retraining is a method of changing the way people run in order to change movement
patterns.Increasing step rate may present a gait retraining method that does not pose further
injury risks and can be used across multiple different injury populations. Studies have shown
increasing step rate can reduce frontal plane movement patterns at the pelvis, hip and foot
as well as reducing sagittal plane joint angles such as ankle dorsiflexion. Based on the
changes in movement patterns increasing step rate has been recommended as an intervention for
the treatment of patellofemoral pain syndrome, medial tibial stress syndrome, iliotibial band
syndrome and achilles tendonopathy. Therefore this study aims to investigate whether an
increase in step rate can reduce pain and change injury causing mechanics in runners
currently running with patellofemoral pain syndrome, iliotibial band syndrome, medial tibial
stress syndrome or achilles tendinopathy.
The aim of the project is to use a simple gait intervention, increasing step rate to
investigate if this technique change can reduce pain immediately, at short term follow up and
long term follow up. The project will also look at whether an increased step rate can be
maintained at follow up and whether this changes movement patterns proposed to be the cause
of injury.
Runners will be recruited from local running clubs and competitions using poster
advertisement at running clubs and emailed to running clubs
