Running Medicine - New Evidence on Clinical Exam, Functional Assessment and Injury Prevention in Runners-Session Presentation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video focuses on new evidence on clinical examination, functional assessment, and injury prevention in runners. The speaker discusses the importance of understanding the patient's history and risk factors, as well as psychological factors unique to runners. They emphasize the need for a multidisciplinary approach and provide exam techniques to assess runners and identify areas for intervention. The speaker also discusses the concept of victims and culprits in running-related injuries. The video then delves into the use of 3D analysis to evaluate running mechanics and prevent injuries. Three case examples are provided: a high school student with a long stride and asymmetric loading patterns, a fit individual with lateral knee pain and poor running form, and a trail runner with a stress fracture. The video recommends specific interventions for each case and highlights the importance of tailored training and preparation for specific terrains. Overall, the video emphasizes the role of 3D analysis in understanding running mechanics and designing personalized training and rehabilitation programs to prevent and treat running injuries.
