2 General Principles for the Evaluation and of the Injured Runner Testing principles: Movement Impairment: A pattern of movement resulting from repeated movements (i.e. running) or sustained postures performed throughout the day that is associated with pain or injury when the cumulative physical stress on the body region is of a sufficient amplitude, frequency or duration. Adaptations of muscle strength, length, and recruitment all contribute to the movement impairment demonstrated. Source versus Cause: The source is the tissue or anatomical structure that is symptomatic while the cause is the mechanical factor (movement pattern) that results in tissue or structural irritation. Runners typically focus on the source of pain, while physical therapists have the expertise to link the source of symptoms to a cause. Secondary testing: A verbal, tactile or manual cue used to change the movement impairment. When secondary testing reduces symptoms, the suspected movement impairment is confirmed. Secondary testing should occur in conjunction with any tested movement that causes pain, including walking and running analyses. Principles for modification of running mechanics: Trial period: Choose 3-5 strategies that target the desired running mechanics modifications. It is often necessary to try 2-3 different verbal cues that aim at the same running mechanics change (i.e. increase, land more quietly, lean forward all cause similar changes). Instruct the patient to try only one strategy each run and note feasibility as well as effect on symptoms during and after the run. Multiple strategies may be effective, but during the trial period only one should be used per run. The goal is to find one or more pain-reducing strategies that do not require excessive attention from the runner. Interval training: Interval training: ly used during the trial period (above) and again when employing final strategies. Train at a set ratio of run to walk time. Often, a patient changing his/her stride is only able to maintain the "corrected" technique for short periods (commonly 1-3 minutes). Most patients quickly revert back to preferred running techniques, especially in the absence of frequent feedback and encouragement to maintain the "corrected" technique. Ratio of intervals can be modified based on acuity of injury, cardiovascular fitness, or simply by the patients ability to independently maintain the corrections. Combining running strategies with external support: External support, such as taping, bracing, orthotics and footwear, can be employed in conjunction with running modifications. If symptoms are not acute, consider adding external modifications as one of the strategies employed during the trial period (only one strategy allowed per run). This allows the patient to weigh for him/herself the effectiveness of each strategy. If symptoms are acute or patient is weak, consider using both external support and running modifications, and weaning from support as the patient progresses through PT. 2
3 Key Narrow foot placement or crossover Contralateral hip drop and/or prolonged medial femoral Narrow knee window Movement Pattern: Hip adduction/medial Femoral Rotation Frontal and/or Transverse Plane impairments of the Hip Region Often associated with the inability to adequately accept loads associated with running or compensations to accommodate physical loading.
