An interventional study of Real-time visual biofeedback during treadmill running in Athletic Injuries, sponsored by University of British Columbia. Completed at 1 site in Canada. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 60 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-01-18.
Sponsored by University of British Columbia · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
The proposed research study aims to investigate whether a gait modification training program to decrease peak braking forces during the stance phase of running will result in a reduction in impact loading and the incidence of running-related injuries among recreational distance runners.
Exclusion Criteria:
Real-time visual biofeedback of braking forces during a treadmill run.
Device: Real-time visual biofeedback during treadmill running
Real-time biofeedback of braking forces during running
Peak Braking Force
The peak horizontal force applied in the posterior direction during the stance phase of running
Time frame: 15 weeks
Average Vertical Loading Rate
The average vertical loading rate during stance phase
Time frame: 15 weeks
Step Length
The average step length
Time frame: 15 weeks
