2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The overarching purpose of this project is to use sensor-derived patterns to guide running interventions during in-field training scenarios for runners with exercise-related lower leg pain. The investigators plan to use the RunScribe sensors to facilitate in-field gait-training to determine the effects of real-time gait-training interventions along with a home exercise program (intervention group) on biomechanical and patient-reported outcome measures of pain and function in runners with leg pain as opposed to receiving a home exercise program alone (control group).
The investigators hypothesize that new runners participating in an 8 week strength and coordination training program prior to beginning to run will 1) display different coordination patterns , and 2) experience fewer injuries, compared to new runners who do not perform strength or coordination training prior to running.
