Running-Related Achilles Tendon Injury: A Prospective Biomechanical Study in Recreational Runners
J Appl Biomech. 2023 Jul 7:1-9. doi: 10.1123/jab.2022-0221. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere are relatively few running studies that have attempted to prospectively identify biomechanical risk factors associated with Achilles tendon (AT) injuries. Therefore, the aim was to prospectively determine potential running biomechanical risk factors associated with the development of AT injuries in recreational, healthy runners. At study entry, 108 participants completed a set of questionnaires. They underwent an analysis of their running biomechanics at self-selected running speed. The incidence of AT running-related injuries (...
