Running gait-retraining for 2 weeks reduces running-related injuries over 12 month follow-up .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Gait Retraining for the Reduction of Injury Occurrence in Novice Distance Runners: 1-Year Follow-up of a Randomized Controlled Trial
Am J Sports Med. 2018 Feb;46(2):388-395390 novice distance runners were randomized to 2 weeks of either a gait re-training program on an instrumented treadmill with real-time visual feedback or control intervention of simple treadmill running. Outcomes recorded included vertical average loading rate (VALR) and vertical instantaneous loading rate (VILR) while running at 8km/h and 12km/h. Runners were also assessed for the incidence of running-related injury over the following 12 months after the intervention period. Results demonstrated significantly lower VALR and VILR at both 8km/h and 12km/h paces in the gait re-training group compared to the control group. The overall incidence of running-related injury was also lower in the gait re-training group compared to the control group.
