Effects of three gait retraining techniques in runners with patellofemoral pain

Analyze the effects of 3 gait retraining: forefoot landing (FFOOT), 10% step rate increase (SR10%) and forward trunk lean (FTL) on lower limb biomechanics and clinical measurements in patellofemoral pain (PFP) runners. Case series report. Biomechanical laboratory and treadmill running. Eighteen recr...

Description
Summary:Analyze the effects of 3 gait retraining: forefoot landing (FFOOT), 10% step rate increase (SR10%) and forward trunk lean (FTL) on lower limb biomechanics and clinical measurements in patellofemoral pain (PFP) runners. Case series report. Biomechanical laboratory and treadmill running. Eighteen recreational PFP runners randomized in 3 groups. Lower limb kinematics and muscle activation were assessed at baseline and 2-week post-training. Pain intensity and function limitation, measured by AKPS (Anterior Knee Pain Scale) and LEFS (Lower Extremity Functional Scale) assessed at baseline, post-training and 6-month follow-up. Repeated measures analysis of variance was used to compare the effects of gait retraining. FFOOT and FTL increased the AKPS score at post-training(P = .001; P = .008) and 6-month follow-up(P
