title: The biomechanics of running.
abstract: Correct diagnosis and successful treatment of running related injuries are based on a firm understanding of the biomechanics of running. The sports medicine practitioner, knowing the principles of the bone and muscular interactions of the structures involved in running, can generate specific, accurate diagnosis and detailed, individualized treatment and prevention protocols. Intrinsic biomechanical factors and extrinsic influences will be examined for their effects on running and related injuries.
