Description
Summary:Gait retraining is no different, and like pharmacotherapies, different prescriptions (e.g. step rate or changing strike pattern) will possess different risks and may lead to different clinical outcomes.[...]tailoring retraining strategies to specific conditions and individual running biomechanics has the potential to optimise outcomes and improve safety of use in clinical practice.[...]optimisting and sustaining exercise therapy benefits may take a number of months in the injured runner due to associated muscle atrophy (Giles et al., 2013), along with likely muscular strength (Rathleff et al., 2014) and power (Nunes, Barton, & Serrão, 2017) deficits.[...]calf, foot and ankle soreness is common during transition (Barton et al., 2016; Breen et al., 2015; Diebal et al., 2012; Esculier et al., 2017).[...]preparatory strength and conditioning programs (intrinsic and calf strengthening, jumping, hopping) are recommended prior to initiating, or during transition, and retraining should be gradually introduced (Barton et al., 2016).[...]results from new research evaluating the biomechanical and clinical outcomes of altering footwear and running retraining strategies are provided, and the reader is encouraged to consider the RISK framework when interpreting the results from these studies and how they might be used in with their patients.
