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.
258 studies on the registry are indexed under Athletic Injuries; 45 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 16 is below the median of 44 across 164 interventional studies indexed under Athletic Injuries.

Ran from Oct 2017 to primary completion in Mar 2018, 5 months.
Results were first posted in Jan 2020, 1 year 9 months after primary completion.
Of 119 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Athletic Injuries, half reached primary completion within 5 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 14. This study's 5 months is close to that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 121 studies reached it within 5 months; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 14.
